PI ProfileView
Creates a comprehensive display of "surface" data for monitoring sheet products.
Component Summary
PI ProfileView helps industries creating "two-dimensional" material -- such as paper or film -- to view and monitor the surface of their products. As a product moves over a drum or roller, ProfileView can check up to 4,000 points across the plane for deviations and inconsistencies.
While PI ProfileView is most often used in two-dimensional industries, it can also be used to monitor any data that stay relatively constant, such as boiler or reactor temperatures.
There are four basic types of profiles that can be monitored:
1. Continuous: Review ongoing profile data, such as boiler or reactor temperature profiles
2. Reel/Batch: Review profile data from specific reels or batches (units of production)
3. Discrete: Review data from specific processes, such as those on an assembly line
4. Overlay: Display data that can be overlaid on other profiles
Technical Overview
PI ProfileView is used to display and analyze arrays of data, especially for two-dimensional product manufacturing. Applications include both continuous and reel/batch processes. ProfileView graphs are packaged as an application separate from PI ProcessBook.
Examples of processes using PI ProfileView include:
- Paper machine scanners
- Rolling mills
- Film manufacturing
- Boiler, reactor temperatures
- Any two-dimensional product (textiles, foam, paper, etc.)
- Any data with approximately the same magnitude, such as percentage deviation from set point of all the advanced control loops on a unit
- Reviewing advanced control loops to see which ones are on computer control
- Comparing quality status of a group of items on an assembly line
System Requirements
- Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 3.51 or later
- TCP/IP, Winsock compatible network layer (standard with Windows NY and Windows 95/98)
