You just installed the PI AF 2.x Server and PI AF 2.x Client and you are now ready to

configure your asset database. You will start by configuring your tanks. Using the PI System

Explorer, you need to create a new AF database with an element template that will be used to

configure all of your tanks in your plant from the same manufacturer.

1.1.4

Part A

Create a new database in the PI System Explorer named MyAFDB_first initial and

lastname. (In the case of the Learning Lab solution, the completed database is calledSolution_MyAFDB_JDoe.)

Part B

Create a new AF table and name this table Material Properties. The table will have the

following columns defined:

ID

Create the following entries in the new Material Properties Table:

1200 2100 1.2 520

HC1500 3422 0.9 650

A4500 8943 2.1 533

Part C

Create a new element template called Tank Template. The element template will have the

following element attributes:

( ) D 0

( ) D 0

D / (D ) D 0 /

( ) D 0 F

/

ACE H C

* /

* F /

* Serial Number and Photo are child attributes of Manufacturer

In the template, create a table lookup data reference for the Density attribute. Use the

following table to configure the lookup value:

C D

ID =

In the template, create a formula data reference for the Mass attribute. Use the following to

configure the formula:

D = Density

Formula = V * D

Part DCreate a new element called Tank A based on the Tank Template element template and

assigned to its attributes the following values:

I :.1
