Hi
we want to remove a redundant site's tags and data from our PI collective.
It is over 10,000 Pi tags in scope.
Is the best way to bulk delete the tags to do this in a script and use PICONFIG from the command line?
Once we have deleted the tags is there a way to remove the data from the PI archives?
Thnaks, Mark
FindEQ('blnd1vol.pv','*','*-2d',1)
But i find i cant use PE in VBA, GRRRRRRRR
Sub Test()
Dim srv As Server
Dim ipiCalc As IPICalculation
Dim vals1 As PIValues
Dim expr1 As String, StartTime As String, endTime As String
Dim testTimes As Variant, cnt As Long, I As Long
Dim bCheck As Boolean, bValCheck As Boolean
StartTime = "*"
endTime = "*-2d"
expr1 = "'Blnd1vol.pv'<1"
Dim data As pisdk.IPICalculation
Set data = pisdk.Servers.DefaultServer
Set ipiCalc = data
Set vals1 = ipiCalc.Calculate(StartTime, endTime, expr1, stRecordedValues, "")
Debug.Print vals1(1).Value
End Sub
But as you can guess, it doesnt work.

How to create performance equation to show crew on 12-hour swing shift for 4 crews?
Our mill has a 12 hour swing shift with 4 rotating crews (E, F, G, H crews)
How could I get this to show the current crew for trending purposes through a performance equation?
See attached spreadsheet for schedule.
Hi,
I am very new to PI Processbook and I am trying to fix a few of its functionalities. I would like to know how to:
1) Automatically 'fit all' of the content in the display when a button on the page is pressed.
2) Prevent 'opening in a new window' when a button on the page linking to a display is pressed
3) Determine buttons which are 'dead links' (i.e. existing buttons which are linked to deleted pages)
4) Fix the back button on the browser toolbar (Currently, if I view pages A B C D C in that order, pressing back takes you to page B instead of D).
I am already working with 2000+ existing PI displays and so I think maybe add-ins would be the way to go since the solutions should apply to all of the displays. Unfortunately, I am only a beginner VB programmer. Any help on any of these points would be much appreciated.
public HtmlString parseAndPrintAFTable()
{
HtmlString theEnvelopePlease = null;
string content = "";
//# Connect to the default AF server:
PISystems piSystems = new PISystems();
PISystem thisPISystem = piSystems.DefaultPISystem;
//# Find and select an AF Database:
AFDatabase targetAFDatabase = thisPISystem.Databases.DefaultDatabase;
//# Find and select an AF Table:
AFTables thoseTables = targetAFDatabase.Tables;
foreach (AFTable thisTable in thoseTables)
{
if(thisTable.Name == "theTargetTable")
{
//# Here is where I need help:
foreach (value in theTargetTable)
{
//# perform operations on the retrieved values:
}
}
}
//# Return the data for display in an HTML format:
theEnvelopePlease = new HtmlString(content);
return theEnvelopePlease;
}
Your help with this is appreciated.
Hi, fokes
First post and just started learning. I need to create a formula using all historical data to list the top 25 flow values to date including the time stamp. Not sure if this is best done in Processbook or Excel? As this is run only periodically, would it be a performance equation? Didn't see any premade functions like Largest(x1,x2,x3...). Thanks for any ideas.
Hello,
When you create a tag for the first time its value will show as "Pt Created" until a change in tag value occurs.
I have a system where we get the position indication for some breakers (1=Closed, 2=Open).
These indications will be shown in a picture. Now the problem is that these breakers could be in the current position for months before they change status (Open -> Closed or vice versa). Is there a way to force an update of the value to replace "Pt Created" with the actual value, even if the timestamp is older than Pt created?

Hi,
I am trying to use a code to force processbook to open a file in my server.
The users are copying the files from server to their local PC and doing changes on display, and I lose control over the changes.
The code I tried using is:
Private Sub Display_Open()
Const path = "\\myserver\processbook\display1.pdi"
Dim d1
If ThisDisplay.Path <> path Then
Application.ActiveDisplay.Close (True)
Set d1 = Application.Displays.Open("\\myserver\processbook\display1.pdi", True)
End If
End Sub
What I need: when the user open the file in their PC, the code run and open the display saved in the server and close the display saved in their PC... But when a run the code above, the display is closed and the other display doesn´t open.
Have you any idea?
Thanks
Allan
I apologize if this question has been asked before.
Is there a way in PI Datalink to calculate when the maximum 5 minute rolling average of a tag over the course of a set timeframe? For example, what was the highest 5 minute average of the sinusoid tag yesterday?
Thanks
Would like vba example of batchview query to return results to excel. want to be able to group on unit, recipe,product, and view about 10 - 20 other tags. Developing average, std dev, max, min and for each of the 10 to 20 tags. Link and corrolate to other odbc data set on batchid. I can do the vba stuff just new to PI BatchView. TIA
I am trying to perform an energy balance calculation in Process Book. Given the generation, I want to use a simple calculation to estimate the auxiliary load and than time integrate this value to calculate an estimated auxiliary load MWh. I can use a calculation like TagTot('Gen','t','*')*24 to do the calculation for generation for which there is an existing tag. How do I use the TagTot function to calculate MWh based on a calculated value like (0.03*'Gen'+0.3)?
We have an AF attribute that had UOM as ft3/s. I changed it to ft in the template and checked in the changes. While most of the objects got updated, I see the following error for some of the objects:
UOMS 'cubic ft per second' and 'foot' must belong to the same class.
Note: The objects that updated successfully and the one's that have the error above share the same template. The display UOM for object is same as template.
Any thoughts?
Hi,
I am using XML Delivery Channel dll to transfer PI data from PI System to Webservices.
I could able to transfer data for one record in single http request from PI system to webservice successfully.
But my requirement is to transfer mutiple record simultaneously in one single http request.
May be this is example of complex data type.
so My question is how to transfer data for complex data type using XML Delivery channel ?
Could anyone please help me to explain me how to do this?
Thanks

Hi all,
I am very new here and and very new to Pi, so please forgive my newbie questsions.
I have been trying to automate some reports from Datalink and Process Book using VBA and have noticed some of the functions available in process book do not seem to be available in datalink. For example: TraceCount and AddTrace are not available in my Datalink VBA, is this correct or do i not have the correct reference librarys turned on?
If they are not available are there other ways to amend Trends?
Cheers
Luke
Hi,
Is there any way to automatic input data from excel files in to PI?

Dear all,
My PI Server's version is "PI 3.4.390.18".

The problem is that I can't connect to my PI Server correctly.
Plz help check the attached file,thx!
I wanna ask for the help that if there's a solution or some way to modify the "connection type" into " PI3"?
oOR how can i solve THIS Problem? T~T
I must recalculate a tag
I have deleted wrong result in the result tag and wrong parameters in the source tag (bad input) with the pipetest the result is correct.
I have lauched this but the system not recalculate the tag

Many I know what the root reason is??
Please find attached.

Hi everyone.
I´m triying to configure a PE using 3 tags, which are configurated as Digital In Point Type. The problem is that I´m not able to use disjuntions Operators with this kind of Tags in this way:
Equation= 'PE_pru' OR 'PE_pru2' OR 'PE_pru3'
This message returned by SMT.
Error -2147219650: PI PE syntax error in Expression. [-12315] Performance Equation: Function has bad argument data type.
The PE is possible to be configurated as whatever type.
The question if there is a function capable to convert Digital Name in an integer or similar in order to be able to use Logical operators or if there is other option to carry out the logical equation.
Thanks in Advance.
