Existing Condition Monitoring to be Extended by Event Frames

Process Plugins — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 11:09:25 +0000

Performance and condition monitoring now leverages either static tables or performace test data from PI and with the release of Event Frames we are now developing a method to dynamically monitor the system based on Event Frames. Please check in soon for updates.

Process Plugins to leverage Event Frames for Statistical Measurement and Monitoring

Process Plugins — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 11:03:41 +0000

With the release of the Event Frames Process Plugins will soon release Statistical Measurement and Monitoring tools. This tool will allow the end user to select up to 20 related measurements around any process where we will then monitor the statistical relationship for any changes. This is a very flexible system system that will be entirely within the Asset Framework so that it can then be leveraged for PI Notifications.

Steam Templates Make Calculations Drag and Drop

Process Plugins — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 10:00:46 +0000

With our AF based templates for steam functions you can simply drag and drop Process Plugins templates into the structure and reference the steam parameters. By adding the Write to PI template you can then send the result to any PI tag.

Process Plugins Uses the XY Plot for Drawing Manufacturer Curves

Process Plugins — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:34:46 +0000

Process Plugins™ uses AF templates to write any manufacturer’s curve data written into an AF table to the Process Book XY plot or trends to display that curve with real time data. This allows you to view the status of any piece of equipment in real time compared to where it is on the performance curves. Since that status comparison is known at all times we then leverage the PI Notifications to alert you to deviations from that curve. Here is a sample display from PI Web Parts that leverages the XY plot for monitoring any pump.

Write Any AF Data to a PI Tag With the PPI_WritetoPIvalid Template

Process Plugins — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 14:45:43 +0000

After requests for more functionality from some of our templates we have added a new template that will provide additional functionality for the “PPI_WritetoPI” template that allows you drag and drop functionality for writing AF data to a PI tag. The new template will allow you to put filtering into the write operation to the PI tag so that you will be able to filter certain output from a formula or calculation stream. The PPI_WritetoPIvalid will filter upper and lower limits of what you want to write to the PI tag. Check news for our latest releases and template udpates. Please contact us at Info@ProcessPlugins.com for more information on this and other templates for your plant monitoring and performance needs.
