Summary

TLDRThis online course provides an introduction to configuring and administrating a simple PI System. It covers querying the PI Data Archive for current and historical values, managing historical data, and installing the PI Interface for OPC DA. Key components of the PI System include the PI Interface, which collects data from various sources and sends it to the PI Data Archive, where it is stored as PI tags. The course also briefly mentions the PI Asset Framework (PI AF) for metadata management, although it will not be the focus. Visualization and analysis tools such as PI Coresight and PI ProcessBook will be discussed. The course emphasizes two nodes: PIINT1 (PI Interface) and PISRV1 (PI Data Archive), all within a domain called pischool.

Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:02:10

    This online course focuses on querying the PI Data Archive for both current and historical values, managing historical data archives, and configuring the PI Interface for OPC DA. A simple PI System consists of components like various PI Interfaces (e.g., for OPC DA, Modbus, RDBMS) that collect data from non-OSIsoft sources such as pumps and motors, and pass it to the PI Data Archive where data is stored as PI tags. Additionally, the PI Asset Framework (PI AF) is mentioned as a tool for managing metadata and integrating with relational databases, although it won't be covered in this course. The course will primarily focus on configuring and administering the PI Interface and PI Data Archive nodes, specifically named PIINT1 and PISRV1, within a domain called pischool, managed by a domain controller named PIDC.

    In this online course, we will learn how
  • 00:00:06
    to query the PI Data Archive for current and historical
  • 00:00:09
    values, manage the archives that store historical
  • 00:00:12
    data;install and configure the PI
  • 00:00:15
    Interface for OPC DA. Create PI tags to
  • 00:00:18
    collect data; and finally configure
  • 00:00:21
    buffering. In this section, we are going to briefly examine the components
  • 00:00:24
    of a simple PI System. A simple PI System
  • 00:00:27
    comprises of the following components,
  • 00:00:30
    namely, the PI Interface
  • 00:00:33
    such as PI Interface for OPC
  • 00:00:36
    DA, PI interface for Modbus, PI Interface
  • 00:00:39
    for RDBMS to
  • 00:00:42
    name a few,
  • 00:00:45
    that collects data from the data source and passes it onto the PI
  • 00:00:48
    Data Archive and the data is historized for each
  • 00:00:51
    measurement in the form of PI tags. Kindly note that the
  • 00:00:54
    data source is not an OSIsoft product and some of the examples
  • 00:00:57
    are like pumps, actuators, motors to name a few.
  • 00:01:00
    Furthermore, a simple PI System
  • 00:01:03
    also comprises the so called PI Asset
  • 00:01:06
    Framework, or PI AF Server that stores the meta data
  • 00:01:09
    and integrates with relational databases.
  • 00:01:12
    With PI AF, you would be able to view your
  • 00:01:15
    assets and its attributes in a contextualized fashion,
  • 00:01:18
    though we aren't going to be addressing PI AF in this online
  • 00:01:21
    course. Then once the data is available
  • 00:01:24
    in the PI Data Archive, the data
  • 00:01:27
    can then be visualized and analyzed using numerous OSIoft
  • 00:01:30
    visualization and analysis tools such as
  • 00:01:33
    PI Coresight, PI ProcessBook,
  • 00:01:36
    PI DataLink, PI WebParts, to name a few.
  • 00:01:39
    This course is an introduction
  • 00:01:42
    to configuring and administrating a simple
  • 00:01:45
    PI System. We will be primarily focusing on
  • 00:01:48
    two nodes, namely the PI Interface and the
  • 00:01:51
    PI Data Archive nodes which are named
  • 00:01:54
    PIINT1 and PISRV1 respectively.
  • 00:01:57
    Please note that all the machines in our sample PI
  • 00:02:00
    System are members of a domain called pischool
  • 00:02:03
    that are controlled by a domain controller
  • 00:02:06
    called PIDC.
