1. Architecture Overview
A PHD implementation may consist of many different integrated hardware and software components depending upon the needs of the customer. The following architecture examples represent two of the many possible topologies that can comprise a PHD implementation. The architecture is highly scalable and not all nodes are necessary or required. In some cases, it may be advisable to combine multiple functions on a single Windows server; while in other cases; distributing functions across multiple servers may provide the best system security and scalability. The following guidelines apply to PHD 310 and subsequent releases.

2. Important Considerations in PHD System Sizing
2.1 Introduction
The following tables outline the supported maximums for the PHD system. The ability of a customer to reach one or more of these limits depends on numerous considerations including, but not limited to the following:
• Server physical memory
• Processor speed
• Number of processors
• Disk space
• Number of system limits being stressed
• Network capacity
• Configuration and system tuning
• Amount of server load imposed by other applications.
This Specification Sheet also identifies the recommended hardware. In the case of heavily loaded systems, it is recommended that Honeywell Services be consulted to plan an appropriate server configuration.
As each installation will be uniquely tailored to the site’s needs, there may be configurations that exceed specified limits. While these configurations may be acceptable; it is recommended that the site contact Honeywell to review the
configuration. Some of the limits may be attained only when using high-end hardware - Honeywell Services should be consulted when in doubt. It is important to remember that PHD has been designed to take full advantage of all available hardware resources (such as number of processors, hyper threading, and memory) to provide maximum
performance and capacity.
ATTENTION
The PHD Sizing Tool, SizePHD, must be used to verify that the proposed hardware configuration is consistent with the limits stated in this
specification sheet.

3 Important Considerations in PHD System Sizing 3.2 PHD Server
It is important for all ‘large scale’ system configurations, that the site validate performance and capability on the target configuration.
3.2 PHD Server
Parameter Specification Comments
Total number of tags 2,000,000 For higher-end systems or if a larger number of tags is required, it is recommended that Honeywell Services be consulted when planning or configuring these system.
Data types supported Type ‘I’ – 32-bit Integer Type ‘L’ – 64-bit Integer Type ‘F’ – Single precision Type ‘D’ – Double
precision
Type ‘C’ – ASCII String Type ‘U’ – Unicode String Type ‘B’ – Binary Data
-
Maximum BLOB tag size
32,500 Maximum data size is
controlled by two PHD parameters:
MAX_USEVALLEN which defaults to 255.
This controls the maximum amount of memory PHD allocates for each value in processing requests.
MAX_ARCRECSIZE which defaults to 2048.
14 • Uniformance - PHD Specification Sheet
3 Important Considerations in PHD System Sizing 3.2 PHD Server
Parameter Specification Comments
This controls the record size within the archive files and must be changed if larger data sizes are required.
Maximum string tag size
32,500 characters See above.
Number of connected archives
8192
(memory permitting)
While PHD permits up to 1024 open archive files, the actual number of open archives is constrained by the available system memory.
Maximum archive size
32GB In general, larger
archive sizes are recommended for optimal data retrieval response times.
Concurrently connected users
10,000 The number of
concurrent requests is limited by the system resources and by the number of available pool threads which, by default, is 256
Default limit imposed by APIServer is 100.
3 Important Considerations in PHD System Sizing 3.2 PHD Server
Parameter Specification Comments
PHD Server and RDI cross reference table
65535 Calculate the number
of RDIs times the number of servers running those RDIs.
For example, if an RDI is running on dual RDC collectors and two shadow servers, it should be counted four times. If the machine in question is one of the hosts, then subtract one (1).
Default maximum is 256, but can be increased using the Registry setting RdiHostTableSize.

3 Important Considerations in PHD System Sizing 3.3 Calculations and Virtual Tags
3.3 Calculations and Virtual Tags
Parameter Specification Comments
Number of functions 128,000 Includes 1D, 2D, and 3D lookup tables Default limit is 100 and is controlled by the PHD parameter MAX_PRCFUNC.
Number of modules 128,000 Default limit is 1,000 and is controlled by the PHD parameter MAX_PRCMODULE.

25 for Shadow Servers with Active and Standby nodes configured 100
While the default is approximately 25, this number can be fine tuned using system registry settings (with the consultation of Honeywell Services) Fastest collection
rate

that can be collected at this rate is typically constrained by the capacity of the data provider.

Parameter Specification Comments
Maximum tags per RDI
400,000
