You must have the OSIsoft PI Asset Framework (AF) software development kit (SDK) installed on the same computer in which you installed AVEVA Process Simulation to successfully connect to an OSIsoft PI Data Archive server, and therefore to the PI databases.

The PI AF SDK uses Windows authentication to connect to PI servers.

Connect to a PI Data Archive server

  1. Install the PI AF SDK on the same computer on which you installed AVEVA Process Simulation.

    You can access the PI AF SDK from the PI AF installation package. Please see the PI AF documentation for more information on how to install the PI AF SDK.

  2. Open any AVEVA Process Simulation simulation.

  3. Open the External Data Manager.

  4. Create a new tag collection.

  5. Select the tag collection and then select Define. The Tag Collection Editor appears.

  6. In the General area, in the Provider list, ensure that you see OSI PI (PI Tags).

  7. In the Server box, enter the name of the PI Data Archive server that you want to connect to.

  8. Select Search or Check all tags to establish a connection to the server. The Server badge indicates the connection status.
