OPC Unified Architecture – Part 11: Historical Access
5.7.3 Default configuration
This specification defines a manner of exposing the configuration associated with a HistoricalNode (both HistoricalDataNode and HistoricalEventNode), but this configuration is not required for all nodes. If the configuration of individual nodes is not provided for all nodes, the Historian shall expose a default instance under the ServerObject. If HistoricalDataNodes exist without a referenced configuration, an Object with a BrowseName of “DefaultHAConfiguration” shall be exposed. If HistoricalEventNodes exist without configuration, an object with a BrowseName of “DefaultHEConfiguration” shall be exposed. For any Node that does not have a referenced historical configuration but does support history, the default appropriate configuration shall be applied (DefaultHAConfiguration for Variables, DefaultHEConfiguration for Objects).
A Client shall assume the default configuration for any HistoricalNode that does not reference a historical configuration.
The DefaultHAConfiguration object is defined in Table 14.
