The totalizers tool allows you to create and edit calculations performed by the PI Totalizer Subsystem. PI totalizers calculate data on a PI point in the snapshot and store the results in another PI point, ensuring accuracy by using data before compression. This makes PI totalizers ideal for accurately representing production summary data. You can start and reset totalizers based on time or events, ensuring precise calculations for flow volumes and other critical variables essential for monitoring product transfers or production performance.
Note: PI totalizer calculations can only use data collected up to the current moment. Do not include future-dated PI points.
To open the Totalizers tool, navigate to Points > Totalizers in the System Management Plug-ins panel. The Totalizers window opens.
Note: If you do not see the totalizers tool in PI System Management Tools (SMT), the PI Totalizer Subsystem may not be enabled. You can enable it in SMT by going to Operations > PI Services, right-clicking Totalizer, and selecting Start.
