5. CIM/PI AF Project - Background
A Convergence of Opportunities
New Network Manager EMS
Comes with PI Historian
Utilizes standards-based CIM model for EMS database configuration
Transmission Engineering Interest in
Condition-Based Maintenance

6. Network Manager EMS . . EMS gathering 50,000 points of real-time data
PI Server
Point data history stored in PI tags,
but accessible only by point name

EMS gathering 50,000 points of
real-time data
CIM DE
Environment
CIM database where equipment
and associated real-time data
points defined for EMS AF
PI product (AF) able to model
equipment’s relationships to tags,
but product not currently used

7. Network Manager CIM DE Tool
Standard electrical System model
based on Common Information Model (CIM)
Equipment (devices)
Connectivity
Measurement relationships to equipment

8. PI’s AF supports model-based data access
Allows one to:
Create elements, representing objects making up a system
Associate historic data (PI tags) with elements
Organize elements into logical groups and set up relationships between elements
Define a meta-model for elements (by means of templates)
Define calculations, notifications and data retrieval on an element basis
Track history of elements and their characteristics

9. CIM/PI AF Project – Closing the Loop
Export CIM model data to PI AF product
Create PI equipment / asset model
for retrieving historic tag data
Create infrastructure for generalized retrieval of historic real-time information
on equipment basis (by reference to equipment location in system)
on asset basis no matter where asset has been moved in system
Generalized retrieval is essential to the creation of applications
