In this course, you will learn the skills needed to configure analyses and notifications using PI Asset Framework. You will learn to set up Expressions for multi-line calculations, Rollups for aggregate attribute, PI Event Frames to automatically detect events in process data, and PI Notifications to allow for alerts.
You will gain knowledge on how to set up analyses for element templates in order to deploy the analyses to individual elements, create tags in PI AF to store calculation results, and configure backfilling of analyses. After the analyses are set up, you will learn how to leverage PI client tools such as PI DataLink and PI Coresight to help visualize and understand their analyses. Hands-on exercises and final project help to reinforce concepts and skills covered in the video lectures.
This course is self-paced for your convenience. Thus, there are no live components to the course, nor are there are required login hours. Please use the video lectures for instruction along with the course exercises to gain hands-on experience working with key concepts. Most importantly, get involved in the discussion forums here on the PI Square community and interact with your peers and experts both at OSIsoft and other organizations, post questions, answer questions posted by others, and overall help each other learn as you would in a classroom environment.
If you’re enrolled in a facilitated session of this course, you also have the opportunity to earn a certificate of completion by submitting a final project to your course facilitator. Please see the final project for details.
