A Metasys Server can be added to the Metasys system when the long-term historical data storage needs exceed the capacity of a network engine. The Metasys Server connects to the network engines over the Ethernet IP network and offers manual, scheduled, and automatic archiving of historical data, including trend data, event messages, operator transactions, and system configuration data. See Server comparison to understand the archiving capabilities of each Metasys Server type.
Metasys operators can view up to five years' worth of data within Metasys
UI. This feature helps operators identify opportunities for system performance
improvements and energy savings by providing year-over-year energy reporting.
Note: This feature requires the Metasys
Historical Data Add-on license for an OAS, which needs to be
purchased separately.
