OSI Agent Advanced
Review the following information for setting up and configuring the OSI Agent driver.
Important:
- The DH Historian Agent can only have one OSI PI agent and one OSI PI server connection with one username/password configured for the OSI PI server.
- The username/password in the DeviceHub configuration is to access the DH Historian Agent, not the OSI PI server.
- If you would like to manage access to tags/data being sent through the OSI PI agent and server, you can set up multiple Manufacturing Connect Edge connections through the NATS connector. See Set Up Edge Cascading with the NATS Connector to learn more.
See Set Up the OSI Agent to review how to set up and configure the OSI Agent driver.
