GE Proficy

.NET AGENT

Overview

The GE Proficy connector enables Seeq to access data from the GE Proficy historian via the Historian User API.

Prerequisites

The GE Proficy connector is only compatible with GE Proficy versions 4.0 and higher.

Configuration

This is an example configuration template that is displayed in the Additional Configuration box that appears when you click Configure for an existing datasource (or if a new datasource is being created, in the Create new datasource connection modal that appears after clicking Add Datasource) on the Datasources administration page.

CODE

{
    "Hostname": "10.4.105.22",
    "Username": "GeUser",
    "Password": "GePassword",
    "SignalMask": ["abc*", "xyz*"]
}

GE Proficy Additional Configuration

Property Name	Default Value	Data Type	Description
`Hostname`	null	String	The name or IP address of the machine that is hosting the GE Proficy historian.
`Username`	null	String	This is the username for the GE Proficy historian connection. Set to `null` to use NTLM authentication protocol.
`Password`	null	String/SecretFile	This is the password for the account specified in the `Username` field. Set to `null` to use NTLM authentication. It is recommended to leverage a Secrets File to store this information.
`SignalMask`	null	A list of Strings	This field limits the number of signals visible to Seeq users. Provide an array of string wildcard signal name masks that match the signals that should be synced. For example, `["Temp", "Pressure", "Flow*]` will sync all signals starting with Temperature, Pressure, and Flow. Set to `null` to synch all available signals to Seeq.

Known Issues

Only GE Proficy tag types of Float, Double, Short, Integer, Int64, UInt64, UInt32, UInt16, Bool, String, Byte and Time can be converted into Seeq data types. Scaled, Blob, MultiField, Array, and MaxDataType are incompatible and will not be indexed.
