PI ProcessTemplates
Allow users to evaluate process variables over repeatable time segments.
Virtually every process has repeatable time segments or events, which can be sources for valuable information to help you improve process consistency. PI ProcessTemplates measure key performance indicators over repeatable time segments and use this information to create templates of expected behavior, creating an efficient, streamlined method for securing data from recurring processes. PI ProcessTemplates contain three components.
PI ProcessTemplates Add-In to PI ProcessBook
Data Sets store local calculations, queries, and other information within a PI ProcessBook display. PI ProcessTemplates Add-In to PI ProcessBook enables you to utilize these Data Sets in ProcessTemplates. ProcessTemplates Add-In stores template average and high/low limits, absolute or deviation from the mean, as a function of time. Each Data Set is then plotted, along with the corresponding process tag, to illustrate compliance to the template, historically and into the future.
PI ProcessTemplate Manager
Templates are created and edited in PI ProcessTemplate Manager. Templates can be based on any point into the process, or any deviation from the mean. Templates are created by calculating the maxima, minima, or "n" standard deviations of tag value at evenly spaced intervals over the selected time range. Templates can also be imported from external data sources, like a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file.
PI ProcessTemplate Monitor
PI ProcessTemplate Monitor is a Windows NT/2000 Service that compares current process values against the active template, tracking the repeatability of the process in real time. After saving a template to the PI Module Database, the user creates an "Active Monitor" to oversee a process and compare it to a given template. The PI System records the process status, designating it as inactive, compliant, or in alarm (high or low), relative to the template. Microsoft's ActiveX server technology is integrated into the ProcessTemplate Monitor, allowing programmatic modifications to active templates. Load schedules, for example, can be stored as templates and updated in real time.
System Requirements
- Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, or Windows 2000
