PI SubBatch Configuration

The PISubBatch Configuration specifies the necessary PI points and attributes to generate PISubBatches. It involves creating the SubBatch hierarchy. The important nomenclature to understand the PISubBatch configuration is defined here.

• SubBatch

  Represents one item in the SubBatch Hierarchy. Each SubBatch has its own SubBatch Active Point which acts as a trigger for PISubBatches. Each SubBatch does not necessarily represent only one PISubBatch. The number of PISubBatches will depend on the SubBatch Active Point and the Active Point Behavior chosen for that SubBatch.

• SubBatch Title

  The name given to represent a SubBatch in the hierarchy. Two SubBatches at the same level cannot have the same SubBatch Title.

• SubBatch Hierarchy

  The tree-like structure to represent all the SubBatches. Each SubBatch can have only one parent SubBatch but can have many child SubBatches.

• SubBatch Level

  Represents the depth in the hierarchy where the SubBatch belongs. The first Level is the topmost level. SubBatches at the first level do not have a parent SubBatch.

Each SubBatch defined in the hierarchy requires a SubBatch Title and SubBatch Active Point. Active Point Behavior option should also be specified. The name for the PISubBatch can be simply the SubBatch Title or the value of the active point itself or a separate PI point can be specified whose value at the start time of the PISubBatch is used. PISubBatch Configuration also involves setting an optional PIHeading set for the entire SubBatch hierarchy.

1. Select the PIUnit to be configured and select the SubBatches tab.

2. Select the PIUnit to be configured and use the fields in the PIUnitBatches tab to configure PIUnitBatches.

3. To save and apply any configuration changes, click Save (). Configuration changes are saved in the PI Module Database.
