PI Event Frames and RtDuet 2011

PI Event Frames – We built on what was learned from PI AF

– Performance is much better than PI Batch • 3000-5000 records in 1-2 seconds.

– Object Structures

– Flexibility (Elements and Attributes)

– Scalable

– Reporting

– Provides RtDuet with a location to record its events.



PI AF – PI AF SDK is relatively easy to use

– CHM Help file is extremely useful

– Performance is better than PI Module Database

– Filter and search functions

– Object Structures

– Designed for reuse and scalable

– Provides RtDuet with infrastructure.



PI AF & PI Event Frames unlocks RtDuet potential – Using PI AF allows “n” RtDuet triggers.

– Using PI AF allows “n” RtDuet reason tree levels.

– Using PI Event Frame templates allow “n” types of Event

Record. • Not for just Downtime. Production, Quality, Batch…etc.

– New PI Event Frames features mean no need to make an event

fit the structure. The structure can be modified to fit the event.



PI AF & PI Event Frames Key Features Used – PI AF is RtDuet’s infrastructure and metadata store

– PI Event Frames is RtDuet’s main repository

– PI Event Frame Searching • Elements or Event Frames / Indexing

– PI Event Frame Templates • Flexible

– Configuration Changes can be tracked and versioned • Check-Out and Check-In

– Reusable code and easy to work in team environment.

– vCampus Sample Code



Benefits of leveraging the PI System – The PI System is a great neutralizer.

– The PI System is the foundation of RtDuet. Its removes any

requirement for a single technology or vendor hardware.

– PI SDK

– Real time process data

– Late binding data (Lab, Manual Inputs, Batch Process)

– PI AF SDK

– ROI for Customers



Always Room for improvement – The method for detecting change in PI AF is polled not pushed.

• Have to refresh method on top database object.

– PI Point templates / Data Reference Templates are not intuitive.

– Need to look at faster ways of getting the attribute data out.

– Pushes SQL very Hard - Hard Disc Activity • Application on different box.

– IIS Data and PI AF Security • What version of IIS?

• (2 Hops)

– PI AF and PI Event Frames editing with multiple concurrent

users.
