Set up PI data

The PI point import file creates 18 simulation points for each of four reactors (RE100, RE200, RE300, and RE400), for a total of 72 points. For a simpler configuration, import the points for a single reactor, RE100.

The PI point import file also defines 18 performance equation points that calculate different current time points that are used to assign unique IDs in the simulation. This simulation uses the PI Performance Equation Scheduler and PI Ramp Soak Interfaces to simulate PI points.

Note: PI Ramp Soak Interface must be installed and running before setting up PI data.

To set up the data and PI AF structure required to run the examples, perform the following tasks:

1. Configure and verify the correct scan classes for PI Performance Equation Scheduler.

2. Create digital state sets for phases.

3. Configure simulation PI points.

4. Create a test PI AF database and import the AF element and template structure into PI AF.
