IP21 → AWS S3

Beforehand​

AspenTech IP21 is a real-time data historian software that collects, stores, and analyzes vast amounts of time-series data from industrial processes, offering tools for real-time monitoring, analysis, and reporting. OIBus can connect to IP21 via ODBC.

Details regarding the configurations can be located on the North AWS S3 and South ODBC connectors pages.

This use case requires the installation of an OIBus Agent and is based on the depicted fictional network scenario.

IP21 -> AWS S3

警告

The Aspen SQLplus driver is sensitive to network latency, so it is strongly recommended to install the OIBus Agent on the IP21 server or at least on the same network to minimize latency between the Agent connector and the IP21 historian.

Additional network hops or firewalls between the Agent and the historian can lead to data collection issues or performance degradation.

South ODBC​

There are two options for managing ODBC connections:

信息

This use case manages ODBC connections with the OIBus Agent. It is considered a best practice for IP21 connections.

Ensure that the OIBus Agent is installed on the IP21 machine and that the Use remote agent option is checked. Based on the previously shown network configuration, enter http://192.169.0.2:2224 as the Remote Agent URL.

OIBus Agent port and network settings

When installing the OIBus Agent, port 2224 is used by default, but you can choose a different port if needed. Ensure that the selected port is allowed for HTTP connections in your firewall settings.

The connection string follows the standard ODBC format. For IP21, the AspenTech SQLplus ODBC driver must be installed on the machine where the OIBus Agent is configured.
