OSIsoft PI

OSIsoft PI is a software platform used for collecting, and visualizing data from industrial operations. These data can be retrieved through the OSIsoft PI driver embedded in our OIBus Agent, in a dedicated PI module.

caution

The OIBus Agent must be installed on a Windows machine to use the PI module.

Specific settings​

OIBus exchanges commands and data with the PI Agent through an HTTP communication. Therefore, several fields must be filled to make OIBus communicate with the PI Agent:

  • Remote agent URL: Specify the URL of the remote OIBus agent, e.g., http://ip-address-or-host:2224.
  • Retry interval: Time to wait before retrying connection.

Item settings​

When configuring each item to retrieve data in JSON payload, you'll need to specify the following specific settings:

  • Type: pointId to access a point through its fully qualified ID, or pointQuery to access a list of points that
  • Point ID: The fully qualified ID of the point (without the server name)
  • Point Query: A selector to access multiple points at once. See this documentation for example.

The name of the item will serve as a reference in JSON payloads if the type is pointId. For pointQuery items, the PI name will be used as reference.
