PI Asset Framework Training

AVEVA PI Asset Framework — Design, Analytics and Integration

Automated Results offers instructor-led PI Asset Framework training delivered by AVEVA-certified PI professionals. Training connects AF modeling to calculations, event detection, notifications and PI Web API integration.

Course outline

Module 1: PI AF Architecture and Design

• AF databases, asset hierarchies, element templates and attributes
• Data references, naming conventions, reusable modeling patterns and PI Builder
• Design considerations for maintainable asset models

Module 2: PI Analytics

• Expression analyses, rollups, calculations and output attributes
• Scheduling, backfilling, testing and troubleshooting
• Operational KPI calculations

Module 3: PI Event Frames and Notifications

• Event Frame templates, start and end triggers, and event context
• Event detection and conditions
• Notification configuration, delivery and troubleshooting

Module 4: PI Web API

• REST endpoints, authentication principles and AF object navigation
• Accessing AF information and time-series data
• Integration exercises using an API client and appropriate permissions

Optional applied workshop

An optional fifth day can focus on building a practical solution that brings together AF modeling, analytics, events, notifications and API calls. Scope and lab access are coordinated before the class.

Course duration and delivery

The suggested format is four days of core instruction, with an optional fifth-day applied workshop. Course length and subject emphasis can be adapted to the group’s experience and objectives.

• Onsite: our preferred approach is to teach in the customer’s own PI System environment using the company’s operational data and systems, when appropriate access and permissions are available.
• Remote: classes can use the customer’s own PI environment when secure remote access and permissions permit. Otherwise, Automated Results can provide a hosted demonstration PI System for hands-on exercises.
• Provided facility: classroom facilities can be arranged by Automated Results when needed

Class size, laptops and prerequisites

Training is priced per class, not per attendee. Each venue has a maximum practical capacity, and smaller groups generally support better discussion, instructor attention and hands-on interaction. Recommended enrollment and any facility-specific maximum are agreed during scheduling.

For customer-environment training, lab activities are planned around authorized access to the customer’s PI System and appropriate handling of company data. For other classes, hands-on exercises can use the Automated Results hosted demonstration PI System. Access, software, security requirements and lab arrangements are confirmed before training.

Students normally use their own laptops. Automated Results will coordinate the necessary software, network and lab access requirements before training. Customer-specific exercises depend on the availability and permissions of the relevant PI System environment.
