The system can seamlessly use the OSIsoft PI System as the historian provider. In this scenario it is not necessary to do any Historian configuration at all. If the tag is mapped to a OSIsoft PI point, the system will automatically call the PI Server to get data when plotting trend charts or any script or display methods requiring historian information.

The system can work with both the PI System and our the built-in Historian at the same time, when historical information is requested to a point, either from trend charts or scripts, the system will look for that information on the built-in Historian module and, if not available, it will try to find that data on the PI server.
