Asset Framework Source System

Use

PI Asset Framework (PI AF) is an integral part of the OSiSoft PI system. The PI system itself consists of software products that form an infrastructure for realtime data and events. The PI system is used to collect, analyze, and visualize as well as archive the data of, for example, production facilities. The PI Asset Framework enables the definition of a consistent hierarchical display of production facilities. A hierarchical breakdown into all parts of a production facility is possible down to the level of sensors and tags.

The Asset Framework Agent can establish the connection from PCo to an OSISoft PI system. In this way, you can use the AF system as a data source.

The AF source system can be used in PCo in the query process and the notification process. The AF source system is an historian system.

The AF agent supports the following tag features in the PCo system:

• Statistical Evaluations

• Retrieve

• Store

• History Store

• Mass Store

• Subscribe

• Unsubscribe

• Regex Mask

• Groups

• Secondaries
