Learn how asset-based PI tools have been used to implement a simple example of condition-based maintenance for pumps, looking at a usage-based indicator and a comparison-based indicator. This example kit contains an XML file for a PI AF database with templates, an example hierarchy, and configuration for demo data. A PI ProcessBook display and a User Guide are also included.

The 2016 version of this kit contains changes to the efficiency calculations, additional event frame generation analyses, and an update of the notifications for PI Notifications 2016 R2.

Use of this kit requires the following minimum software versions - PI Data Archive 2016 R2, PI AF Server 2016 R2, PI Analysis Service 2016 R2, PI System Explorer 2016 R2, PI Notifications 2016 R2, and PI ProcessBook 2015.

After AF xml was imported, the tags are not created because their names contain quotes (""), they are invalid.

Hi Vadim,

Are you using PI System Explorer 2015+ or an older version? I was able to repeat your issue when testing against PI System Explorer v2014 R2, but did not have any issue creating tags with PI System Explorer 2015 R2. I think you might be encountering a known issue with characters that was resolved in v2015. If you upgrade to v2015+ and continue to have problems creating the tags from within System Explorer, I'd recommend contacting Tech Support to dig into the details.

Thanks,

Megan

Megan,

I really like this example ... it's well made. Worked out of the box, thank you.

I would also be interested in batch process data to showcase EF. Something similar to the legacy batch example, but using AF and EF.

To anyone who's seen that PI Server 2016 R2 has been released (with PI AF and Notifications 2016 R2) - please note that you cannot import this kit into a PI AF Server 2016 R2 with Notifications 2016 R2. You'll receive an error "The version 2.8.5.7759 of PI AF Server '<Server>' does not support the Notification Feature."

If you'd like to install the kit with the notifications, you will need to run the Notifications Migration tool to enable legacy Notifications, import the kit XML, then run the Notifications Migration tool again to migrate the Notifications to the use new Notifications Rules. If you have already run the Notifications Migration tool, you will not be able to enable legacy Notifications.

Or - you can install a version of the database with no notifications configuration: GEN_FULL_PumpConditionBasedMaintenance_V2015_NoNotifications.xml

We'll be updating the kit in the next few months to take advantage of PI Server 2016 R2 improvements, so check back for a new version of the kit.

Hello,

I have just started having a look at this kit, which looks great by the way. I followed the user guide in terms of adding the information and backfilling the analyses.

In my system I seem to be getting some odd behaviour with the result of the "Number of Starts Since Maintenance" calculation. As you will see (red line), it seems to count up almost every hour when the calculation runs, rather than every time the pump status changes. There are long periods were the pump status doesn't change and so I would expect the start count result to remain unchanged.

I have had problems in setting up counters myself which was why I thought I would look at the example kit for some inspiration. Could it be that there is something fundamental about how my PI system is configured which is causing this result?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Best regards

Matt

Hello, I am going through this Kit, with 2018 AF. Everything works until I go to back-filling the analysis. Even if Select 1 analysis, and try and backfil it, it sits at 0% any ideas?
