    InfoPlus.21 Records
    • InfoPlus.21 records can be:
    – “Tags,” each containing data about a single process value
    – Other kinds of records, such as records that:
    • Hold lists of things, like engineering units
    • Perform processing on other records, such as calculations or data
    movements
    • Hold system information

    What is a “Tag?”
    • An InfoPlus.21 tag is a record that contains information
    about a single point, which could be a single:
    – Measured value read from plant instrumentation
    – Setpoint value read or to be written to a control system
    – Value representing the result of a calculation

    • Besides the current value, a tag stores other information


    about the point (described in detail in later module), including:
    – Time related data
    – Name of the tag
    – Description
    – Name of engineering units used
    – Plant area
    – Historical values

    The Historian
    InfoPlus.21 Core System
    • Historical values for
    each tag are stored
    on disk by the Real-Time
    InfoPlus.21 Database

    Overview Review
    • InfoPlus.21 is a process data manager and historian with many
    versatile links to other applications
    • All data items are stored by the InfoPlus.21 database in fields
    within records
    • Some records are “tags,” each storing current and historical
    information about a single process value
    • Current values and some historic values are stored in the real-
    time database, which resides in the server computer’s memory.
    For longer-term storage, values are transferred to disk archives
    by the Historian, which also retrieves these values when required
