Verify creation of heat pump elements

Before you verify create of heat pump elements, you need to Create the heat pump elements.

You can use PI System Explorer to verify that PI Builder created the expected elements and attributes. Follow this procedure to verify that PI Builder created the heat pump elements and corresponding attributes with automatically generated PI points.

1. Open PI System Explorer. (Click Start > All Programs > PI System > PI System Explorer.)

2. Select the database used for the exercise:

   1. In the PI System Explorer toolbar, click Database.

   2. From the Asset server list, select the PI AF server that stores your database.

   3. From the Databases list, select your database.

   4. Click OK.

3. In the navigation pane, click Elements.

4. Expand Heat Pumps to see the created pump elements.

   If PI System Explorer was already open, you might need to click Refresh to see the changes.

5. Click a child element, such as Pump4, to see details for that element.

6. Click the Attributes tab and verify that the data reference is correct.

   • Under Settings, the configuration string should show the default Data Archive and point name, such as: \\MyServer\Pump4.PumpSpeed.

   • In the Value field, a value should appear.

     Note: After PI Builder creates a PI point, it might take some time before the specified interface writes values to Data Archive. Until then, the value Pt. Created appears.
