  1. Technical Reflections By Don SmithOSI Software, Inc.

  2. PI ProcessBook • Version 2.1x released • SQC and Batchvue updated • PB 2.1 demo • Ad-hoc - #pens / window • Format number in window • Menu & Toolbar customization • Button -> URL OSI Software, Inc.

  3. The PI Client • SQC • X-bar, R, S, Histograms in ProcessBook • Profile package • Defect and roll cut overlay. New beta with 10-fold increase in speed due to caching data locally • Being re-written to take advantage of the new Equipment database/Batch • Batch Client • Now OLE compliant - add-in to ProcessBook • Control Monitor • New Beta add-in to ProcessBook • Manual Logger • PI-SDK / PI-SMT • PI-AlarmView OSI Software, Inc.

  4. PI-DataLink • Office 2000 support • State caching for faster performance • PI3 data types on more functions • New TimeFiltered expression OSI Software, Inc.

  5. PI-Profile • Large number of values per page • Overlays for defect and trim • Improved user interface • Speedup by local data caching OSI Software, Inc.

  6. OSI Software, Inc.

  7. Interfaces • Support.osisoft.com • Versions – readme – documents • New interfaces? • OPC? other generic protocols? • Requests, vendor contacts, models, timeframe • Most are bi-directional OSI Software, Inc.

  8. Honeywell: APP node and PHD • Joined Team Uniformance May 1999 • Siemens S7 and S5 / TIWay /Teleperm • Modbus-Plus and A-B RSLinx • ABB IMS NT • Foxboro AW70 NT • Emerson: Fisher DeltaV and Intellution • Bailey SemAPI • OPC OSI Software, Inc.

  9. Sigmafine: Data Reconciliation • Yield Accounting • Material Balance • Energy Balance • Tracks Loss of Material • Instrumentation management • Detects tuning problems with instrumentation • Unit Optimization • Custody Transfer OSI Software, Inc.

  10. Browse PI Displays & Reports on the Web OSI Software, Inc.

  11. PI Activeview • Aquarium • Aquarium on web OSI Software, Inc.

  12. PI2 conversions • Many very good experiences • Rich set of tools for conversion • Assistance from OSI Service Group • Minimal lost time during conversion • Ability to run parallel until comfortable • Can be faster & more compact archives • Float32 is popular from my travels OSI Software, Inc.

  13. PI Archive • Benchmark Tool by Que Systems • Version 3.2.357.17 is 3x faster • Equation points and Totalizers • Batch monitor in every server • Alarm monitor for everyone OSI Software, Inc.

  14. Stranger than fiction • PI DataArchive – UDA • Use other archives • See the data from PI view • Use PI clients • Use PI interfaces • Use PI / Microsoft development environment OSI Software, Inc.

  15. Embedded PI Archives • Fisher Rosemount Delta Vee • Intellution • GE OSI Software, Inc.

  16. Archive • Version 3.3 in development • Module database • NT Performance Monitor Object • PI-Perfmon interface • Manage your resources by exception • Analyze time before lockup OSI Software, Inc.

  17. Batch Basics • Group tags under UNIT • Refer to tags via Alias names • Batch monitor produces the index file • Everything contained within the archive file • Used by PI Profiles OSI Software, Inc.

  18. OSI Software, Inc.

  19. How to get PI Updates • New database to enable web functionality • Major releases sent • Minor releases by request • Download authorized by support • Physical product by request • Check support.osisoft.com • Did I mention that already? OSI Software, Inc.

  20. Support News • Using new SQL Server database • Call processing • California 7a-7p • New Zealand 7p-2a • Future • 24hour callback weekends OSI Software, Inc.

  21. Support call handling • Leave a message processing • Message priority over call shifts • Email & attachments are very useful • Tracking your calls? • Register for your support access • Web tracking / call logging in testing • Customer access to new database OSI Software, Inc.

  22. devnet.osisoft.com • Tools for you • Focus for application questions • Feedback to us on your interests • Resource commitment by OSI OSI Software, Inc.

  23. Point Tuning OSI Software, Inc.

  24. Interface dependant Simple change test Exception Compression Archive dependant dual slope test for accuracy OSI Software, Inc.

  25. excmin = 0 (default) excmax = 600 (default) excdev = 0 (default was 1.0) Exception Compression Deviation of zero Does a lot! OSI Software, Inc.

  26. Exception compmin = 0 (default) compmax = 28800 (default) compdev = ? (default 2.0) Compression OSI Software, Inc.

  27. Start with all points compdev = 0.5%span or 0.25% span • Add exceptions for specific groups of points to refine first guess OSI Software, Inc.

  28. Temperatures • Set for engineering units 1degf / 0.5degc • Or appropriate for process (larger dev for furnaces & high temperature processes) • Power • Set for 0.1% span • Low noise measurements OSI Software, Inc.

  29. Yield Measurements • Custom tune yield calculations appropriate to production reporting requirements OSI Software, Inc.

  30. compdev / compdevp • PI – SMT tool shows both attributes by default • Compdevp takes precedent over engineering deviations! • When both columns are shown in SMT then only the compdevp contents matters. OSI Software, Inc.

  31. A blank value of compdevp causes the default compdevp to be applied regardless of compdev value. • Remove the compdevp column to cause the compdev attribute to be applied OSI Software, Inc.

  32. %Span, span defaults to 100! • Archiving & compressing = 1 • Step set according to measurement OSI Software, Inc.

  33. API interface Use bufserv Start interface with /stopstat=shutdown Set shutdown attribute Shutdown=0 PI Archive OSI Software, Inc.

  34. pH example • Instrument +/- xx.xx calibration • No compression = 3500 values / day • Comdev=0.01 for • 80 to 140 values / day OSI Software, Inc.

  35. Check archive consumption • Archives can be resized • Guide is 8 to 25 archives / year • Archives must fit backup media • Remember to add archives to shift into • Backups should be automatic OSI Software, Inc.

  36. Training • 2-4 hour pills • Available frequently • A little knowledge encourages users • CBT reinforces details • training.osisoft.com • Schedule classes • Download resources OSI Software, Inc.

  37. Getting value from PI • Deliver Business Value • Actionable Information • Web presentation stampede • Windows desktop advantages • Low cost • Sophisticated features , multimedia • Most frequently updated OSI Software, Inc.

  38. PI Steering committee • Think information in all departments • Engineering • Environmental • Safety – training, reviews, instructions • Production • Plant business objectives OSI Software, Inc.

  39. Window 2000 • Launched here in San Francisco • OSI participated • Tested for so…long • Bet your company by Microsoft • Launch presentation said it all • Aquarium Tested OSI Software, Inc.
