Now let me add multi states to
convert the gauges in the collection into visual alarms. I'm
going to modify it first.
Choose a symbol that I want
to act as a multi state. Now right
click it and choose add multi state. I'm only
interested in three temperature states. So
I'll remove these and the top one I'll
make red. The middle one is going to be
orange. And the bottom one is going to be
green. I'll exit modify
mode. And now the color of the needle
tells me the state of the temperature. The red arrow
indicates the pumps whose temperatures is out of
spec. So I can easily tell which pumps I have in your problem.
I also have a plant in Springfield, so I'm going to re-create
this collection for my Springfield plant. I'll go back to design
mode, select the image
and the collection and then hit copy
and paste. And move these
to the side.
I'm going to copy paste
my label
place it here
and rename it.
Now I need to find the
pumps from my Springfield collection. So I'm going to modify
the collection by changing
its collection criteria. And
on a search route, I'm going to change the
root from Philadelphia to Springfield.
And when I hit refresh, I
should be able to see my Springfield pumps inside of the
collection.
The display gives me the situational awareness that I need to monitor
assets across both sites. But what
if I want my collections to show me only the
pumps with the out of spec temperatures? To
do that, I'll need to change the collection criteria again. I'll
right click and then
under asset type, I'm going
to choose the asset attribute which is
Bearing Temperature. Change the operator to
greater than and it's going
to be 160 which is my threshold
temperature. Hit refresh. And do the same for this
second collection.
Now the collections
will automatically update to show me only the pumps whose
bearing temperature requires my immediate
attention. So if I go back in time, it's going to
update. In the future, if new assets get
added to my AF hierarchy, I don't have to worry about adding them to
my collection. PI Vision will pick up the new assets
automatically as long as their data falls within my
criteria. Let me save this display.
Now that I have this auto updating
dashboard, I want to add navigational links
from the collection to my original single asset pump display
that we created in the previous video. That way I can get
more detailed information about the pumps whose
bearing temperatures are out of spec. To add a link, I'll
modify the collection.
I'm going to select the symbol that I want to act as a
link, right click it and choose add navigation
link. On this pane, I could link
my symbols to a website by typing in a URL right
here. For example I can link to a workflow
website for my maintenance group
but I want to link to another display. So I'm going to hit
search for displays and choose
my display which is called Pump Conditions.
I'd like to open it in a new tab, so I'll select this check
box. And I'm definitely going to keep
these ones on because I want to preserve the asset
context which means when
I click pump 1 on the collection, I'm going to be automatically
taken to the pump 1 single asset
display. So let's test this. I'll exit modify
mode and I'm going to double click the
symbol. This is
awesome. In the navigational link, let me drill into the pump that's overheating
and analyze its process parameters and
instantly share this information with my maintenance
crew who are using PI Vision out in the field on
their mobile device.
