Batch & Event Framing for Process Analysis
Introduction
The purpose of this class is to demonstrate and practice the capabilities of the PI server to categorize process data into batches and phases within batches. The class also presents the client software available to create real-time process displays and reports that make use of the batch identifications generated and archived by the PI server
In this class we prepare the student to configure the PI Server to generate batch data automatically. We also present the three software components that comprise the PI BatchView software:
- Batch Trend add-in for PI ProcessBook
- PI BatchView ActiveX Control
- Microsoft Excel add-in for PI Datalink.
The class is 2 days long. Class starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch breaks are at 12 p.m. each day and last 60 minutes.
Audience
This class is for PI system managers or power users who want to learn more about OSIsoft's implementation of batch tracking. It is also suitable for system integrators who work with OSIsoft customers to learn the various tools they can use to implement customer requests.
Prerequisites
PI System Manager I: Essential Skills and PI ProcessBook & PI DataLink or equivalent experience.
