PI, by OSISoft, is a high performance data archiving system designed to collect, store, and retrieve time-based information efficiently. Data Collectors gather information from data sources, and forwards it to the PI Server (through the PI API). The PI Server compresses and stores the information in the Archive Database. The ARchive Database consists of several files, each of which represents a specific time period of historical data. Data is read from the PI database, summarized based upon the user specified statistic and the resulting value is placed in the WIMS/Rio database. ![[WIMS_-_FT_HISTORIAN_Connector_INFO_f1bd3b59-64cf-4e83-87ec-49f2.png]]   More information about OSISoft and the PI System can be found at [www.OSISoft.com](http://www.osisoft.com/). NOTE:  The interface uses the PI OLEDB Provider that may need to be purchased from PI.  The PI OLEDB Provider is NOT included in the purchase of this interface.  See [Installing the PI OLEDB Provider](http://www.opssys.com/InstantKB/Article.aspx?id=12641) for more information.   **Q12142 - INFO: Software Requirements** The Interface and its components are supported and can be installed **only **on one of the following Microsoft Windows versions : - Microsoft Windows Server 2012- Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 - Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit- Microsoft Windows Server 2016- Microsoft Windows Server 2019- Microsoft Windows 11 64-bit NOTE: Interfaces can run on the following Windows versions, however use of interfaces on these Operating Systems are no long supported: - Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit- Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit- Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1- Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit- Microsoft Windows 2008 32-bit- Microsoft Windows 2008 64-bit- Microsoft Windows 2008 32-bit Service Pack 1- Microsoft Windows 2008 64-bit Service Pack 1- Microsoft Windows 2008 32-bit Service Pack 2- Microsoft Windows 2008 64-bit Service Pack 2- Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 64-bit **Q12640 - INFO: Source versions tested** This interface was tested using PI OLEDB version [3.2.2.10](http://3.2.2.10).The interface uses the PI OLEDB driver to connect to the PI Historian and must be version 2.0.11 or later in order to support standard queries generated by this interface. For directions on installation, see the article [Installing the PI OLE DB driver](http://www.opssys.com/instantkb/article.aspx?id=12641). **Q12641 - HOWTO: Installing the PI OLE DB driver** The OSI PI OLEDB Provider is required to be installed in order for the WIMS Interface to read data from the PI Historian.  Rockwell Historian now utilizes a PI backend for their historian as well.  The PI OLE DB is included in the OSIsoft's PI Data Access suite of products.  This driver is licensed by OSISoft and MUST be purchased from OSIsoft, it is NOT included in the purchase of this interface.  Please check with your PI provider to see if you are licensed for this driver. Below is an excerpt from the manual for Rockwell Historian v6 on how to perform the installation of the driver. ![[WIMS_-_FT_HISTORIAN_Connector_INFO_1eb478b6-2242-42a0-bd08-398d.png]] The following steps show the installation PI OLEDB v[2.0.11.0](http://2.0.11.0).  Version [3.3.1.02](http://3.3.1.02) in the latest available version as of November 2015.  You should install the version that came with your PI System and the steps should be similar to those shown below: In order to install the PI OLE DB driver, you will need a PI OLEDB Installation CD from OSISoft.
