• OSIsoft PI in use since 1997
• Thick client tools - ProcessBook Datalink
• Original graphics created by a third party
  integrator.
• Recent centralized installation of 4 locations

6
Key Decision Drivers

• NERC Cyber Security
• Industry effort
• CIP 005 Electronic Security Perimeter
• CIP 006 Physical Security Perimeter
• Operational visibility
• Graphics are one key to operational visibility
• Copy graphics from similar units not
  necessarily cookie cutter.

7
Evaluation Steps forward

• Evaluation of several options for ProcessBook
  graphics.
• Draw by hand.
• Automated tool
• Proof of Concept and Pilot
• Easy conversion of control system graphics
• Potential to require additional tags
• OPC compatibility
• RtPortal and Future plans - compatibility

8
Value Now

• Remove NERC Cyber Security critical assets from
  the list.
• One less DCS connected system, One less system to
  remediate, maintain, report on.
• Remove potential for fines or negative publicity.
• Place DCS graphics in front of your operations
  support team.
• Return on investment from fast deployment to end
  user.
• Exact version of DCS graphics in PI.

TECO Polk Power Station

• Located near Tampa Florida, the Polk power
  station is a state-of-the-art integrated coal
  gasification combined-cycle power plant (clean
  coal technology)
• Produces enough electricity to serve 75,000
  homes.
• Long time PI user (state how long)

10
TECO Polk Power Station

• Site demanded greater operational visibility.
• Faced with opportunity to leverage existing PI
  investment, or purchase additional DCS equipment.
  (expensive)
• The purchase of DCS equipment is a costly
  investment, and limits use and scalability.
• DCS equipment equals more problems and increased
  risk (CIP)
• Quicker ROI and flexibility led customer to PI.
• Faster deployment.
• Greater visibility of plant.

NASA Uses for PI

• All 12,000 Pts archived (console database)
• 3 Yr. of Data Available on Line
• Diagnostics, Operator Process Screen Playback
• Analysis
• Defense of Control System
• Machine Run Time/Start Log
• Predictive Maintenance

18
NASA Uses for PI - Diagnostics

• Business model requires engineers to completely
  retool plant, screens, etc frequently.
• End users frequently need to review archived DCS
  screens.
• Site utilizes PI Archive Playback of Process
  Graphic.
• Originally used a bit map image of the operator
  console graphic.
• Dynamic symbols had to be built and updated by
  hand.
• Tags were mapped by hand.
• Time consuming.
• Graphics were frequently out of synch with DCS.

19
NASA Operational Visibility

• Constantly changing DCS graphics.
• Large number of users.
• Graphics must be accurate and up to date.
• Site needed an automated solution to enhance the
  value of PI.

• PI data is used for site monitoring, research,
  and troubleshooting.
• Site has 7 DCSs, therefore creating a large tag
  database.
• Users rely heavily on PI for decision making.
• Many users do not know tag names, (50,000 PI
  tags) making searching for tags difficult.
• Customer identified a need for finding data
  quicker in PI.

21
MeadWestvaco Mahrt Mill

• ProcessBook graphics screens give users familiar
  look and feel of the DCS, therefore encouraging
  more PI usage.
• Building graphics screens in ProcessBook bridged
  the gap between DCS and PI systems.
• Users can view trends based on display images,
  not tag names.
• Graphics create a standard way to look at plant
  information.

22
ProcessBook Graphics building

• The common theme is graphics enhance operational
  visibility.
• Installing additional DCS equipment is an
  expensive option.
• Using ProcessBook to view graphics offers more
  flexibility and leverages your PI investment.
• Drawing graphics by hand is time consuming
  (approximately 8 hours per screen)
• Tags in DCS are frequently named different than
  PI tags.

23
