Configuration tutorial for PI EFGen

This tutorial contains several examples that show you how to configure PI EFGen to create event frames in PI AF. The examples include downtime events, temperature excursions, and hierarchical batch events. To generate event frames, PI EFGen requires trigger points to be defined in the PI Server. In the examples, simulation type points are used to create the necessary data.

Verify that your interface node has the following software installed:

• PI Event Frames Generator (PI EFGen)

• PI Event Frames Interface Manager

Verify that your PI Server node has the following software installed:

• PI Server

• PI AF with event frames (can reside on a separate node)

• PI System Explorer (can reside on a separate node)

• PI System Management Tools (PI SMT) (can reside on a separate node)

• PI Tag Configurator add-in to Excel (can reside on a separate node)

• PI ProcessBook (optional, can reside on a separate node)
