Add or edit PIUnit attributes

You can use the Module Database tool to add and edit some properties of PIUnits. These specialized modules are objects, or units, that represent processing equipment capable of making a batch. Most of the PIUnit configuration properties concern the start and stop times of such batches.

PIUnits are the modules where PIBatch objects are created. To create and maintain these objects, which record and track the process for producing material in batches, use the PI Batch Generator tool in PI System Management Tools.

1. Do one of the following:

   • To add a PIUnit, right-click the module under which you want to add the PIUnit and then click New > PIUnit. (Or you can create a module, then select the Is PIUnit? check box.)

   • To edit a PIUnit, right-click the PIUnit and then click Edit.

2. Use the Edit/View PIModule Attributes dialog box to configure a new PIUnit, or update an existing PIUnit. See Add or edit module attributes for details.

3. Click OK.
