We install and configure a new PI interface for an existing data file
The main goal is to install and configure a new PI interface for an existing data file. Installation is performed on-site by a qualified engineer accredited by OSISoft® as an AVEVA PI System Infrastructure and Facilities Specialist.


Secure Data Collection
The PI interface installation service will guarantee excellent data collection from different sources.

Trained Team
Engineers trained and certified by OSIsoft®, will guide you to get the most out of your PI System.

Experience
With more than 6 years of experience handling incidents, we even know what issues can cause you difficulties.

Get the most out of your PI System from day one
Spread the load
of remote access problems, isolating users from the PI Data Archive. Back up and test as a secondary PI Data Archive.
Using the OPC DA standard
collect real-time data from OPC Servers, OPC DA is recognized as the most common communication protocol in the field of industrial automation.
The PI Interface
can be configured to collect data regardless of the data format (Universal File, Stream Loader, ASCII, etc) in the source file, making it one of our more versatile interfaces.
Can collect data
in real time for RDBMS, historical or future of any Relational database management system that support ODBC drivers (eg: Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM Informix, etc.)
For Modbus Ethernet PLC
Collect real-time data from PLC controllers in the that the Modbus communication protocol is used.
PI to PI Interface
PI to PI interface is used to send data in real time, historical or future data from one Data Archive to another. an app Typical of this PI interface is to collect data from various Data Archives at plant level and send them to an Archive centralized corporate data.

Scope of Service
Part I
We'll configure and do some testing of the buffering, for this we are going to configure up to 5,000 tags, the failover of the PI interface (optional) and we will give the basic description with the AVEVA PI System™ administrator.
Part II
Review of specific PI Tag configuration parameters, we will review technical support resources with OSIsoft. Then we will make an introduction to the AVEVA PI System (time permitting) and we will deliver an installation report.
Administration and Support Requirements
Before starting the interface implementation service
we will verify the configuration and do a test of 1 standard PI interface in a single acquisition node, then we will validate the communication with the data source, to finally install and configure the PI communication libraries.
TCP/IP
TCP/IP communication must be enabled and operational between all computers that will use the AVEVA PI System™.
Raw Tags:
The client must provide a digital version of the tag information raw extracted from data source: Tag name, description, zero, interval, engineering units, point type, status and direction information of the control system. The required information will be validated during the review from the pre-installation checklist.
PI Interfaces:
Most PI interfaces require third-party hardware and software that They must be installed and operational before starting with the service. The requirements Specific ones will be validated during the pre-installation discussion.
Time Needed
Implementation dates will be mutually agreed after acceptance service form. The implementation process, from application to Its completion normally takes 2-4 weeks.
Week 1 and 2
Communication of prerequisites, orders for OSIsoft software, hardware of acquisition node and operating systems, and hardware and software control system specific. Confirmation of installation dates with PIPER.
Week 3
Preparation required for the hardware and software required for the installation of the PI Interface.
