  1. An Enterprise Implementation of PI-ACE and Module Database Diane Bricco / Robert Bolm

  2. Overview • MeadWestvaco and PI • IT Enabler • Bringing It All Together • Module Database and PI-ACE • PIMDBEditor Demo • PI-ACE Simple Calculation Demo • PI-ACE Data Transfer Demo • Questions

  3. Leading Global Producer Of • Packaging and PaperBoard • Coated and Specialty Papers • Consumer and Office Products • Specialty Chemicals

  4. PI and MeadWestvaco • Installation • 15 Major MeadWestvaco sites • over 2000 client licenses • 650,000 Data Streams • 3 to 5 years data retention

  5. PI and MeadWestvaco • Technology • Legacy VAX/VMS • Clustered Windows 2000 Advanced Server • Browser access

  6. PI and MeadWestvaco Business Systems (SAP) Business T e c h n o l o g y O p t i m i z a t i o n MES Product Tracking Data Historian Quality Safety Health Environmental Manufacturing PI plays a BIG role here! Process Control Process (DCS / QCS)

  7. PI’s Contribution • Promotes consistency creating the environment to support long term strategies for leveraging tools and investment synergies • Enables Standards and Support where Best Practices is essential • Investment that supports a common platform and accelerates the transition from legacy environments • PI-Tools are centric to the High Uptime and reliability metrics associated with integrated MES.

  8. PI-Module Database • Standard in PI-UDS Database • Module Database Stores the Structural Information Used by an ACE Module • Aliases and Properties • Facilitates Code Re-use • Different Tags / Identical Aliases • Ease of Support • Make changes via Module Data Base

  9. PI-ACE • PI-ACE • Consistency • Standards and Support • Leverage Investment that supports a common platform • Ease of use thus better able to leverage investments • Promotes transition from legacy environments

  10. What is a Module? “A Standardized, often interchangeable component of a system or construction that is designed for easy assembly or flexible use”

  11. Demo • Using the PIMDBEditor

  12. PI-ACE • PI-ACE (Advanced Computing Engine) • 3 components • ACE Scheduler • Clock or Natural Execution of ACE Modules • ACE Manager • Monitoring Tool • ACE Wizard • Add-In to Visual Basic 6

  13. PI-ACE • ACE Wizard • Allows you to select tags/aliases to be used in the ACE Module • Creates the Visual Basic and SDK code that Defines PI Specific Variables, Objects and Classes so you don’t have to

  14. Basic Calculation • Demo • Formula Database

  15. The Executable • ACE Executables • ACE Module corresponds to a class module in a Visual Basic ActiveX EXE project • ACE executable can contain multiple modules • ACE modules can run in different contexts • Only limitation to the number of executables is the computer resources

  16. PI-ACE • ACE Scheduler • Runs as a Service • Automatic start on reboot

  17. PI-ACE • ACE Manager • Allows user to manage ACE Modules • Stop/Start/Delete • Create additional contexts • Enable Troubleshooting • Demo

  18. Data Share • Demo • Use ACE and OLEDB to populate Product Tracking Screens to reduce operator manual entry

  19. Conclusion • ACE is Easy to Use • Generates the Difficult portions of the code for you

  20. Questions • ???
