Collector Spare Configuration

Spare configuration enables you to add additional configuration to the tag using the Spare 1 to Spare 5 fields in all the collectors except in a Server-to-Server collector, Server-to-Server distributor, and an OSI PI distributor.

• In case of an OSI PI distributor, data is read from the Historian tag displayed in the Source Address field and sent to the OSI PI tag name displayed in the Spare 1 field. To control the source and destination tags, change the Source Address and Spare 1 values. You can add or update values in the remaining spare fields.
• In case of Server-to-Server collector and Server-to-Server distributor, you can update the Spare 1 to Spare 4 values, but the Spare 5 field is used only for internal purposes. Therefore, do not update the Spare 5 field.
