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

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
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 19
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
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 20
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
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 21
Embedded PI Archives
Fisher Rosemount Delta Vee Intellution GE

Archive
Version 3.3 in development– Module database– NT Performance Monitor Object
PI-Perfmon interface– Manage your resources by exception– Analyze time before lockup
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 23
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

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?
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 26
Support News
Using new SQL Server database Call processing
– California 7a-7p– New Zealand 7p-2a– Future – 24hour callback weekends
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 27
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

Point Tuning
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 30
Exception
Compression
Interface dependantSimple change test
Archive dependantdual slope test for
accuracy
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 31
Exception
Compression
excmin = 0 (default)
excmax = 600 (default)
excdev = 0 (default was 1.0)
Deviation of zeroDoes a lot!
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 32
Exception
Compression
compmin = 0 (default)
compmax = 28800 (default)
compdev = ? (default 2.0)
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 33
Start with all points compdev = 0.5%span or 0.25% span
Add exceptions for specific groups of points to refine first guess
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 34
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
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 35
Yield Measurements
Custom tune yield calculations appropriate to production reporting requirements
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 36
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.
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 37
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
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 38
%Span, span defaults to 100! Archiving & compressing = 1 Step set according to measurement

API interface

Use bufservStart interface with/stopstat=shutdown
Set shutdown attributeShutdown=0

pH example
Instrument +/- xx.xx calibration– No compression = 3500 values / day
Comdev=0.01 for– 80 to 140 values / day
April 2000 OSI Software, Inc. 41
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
