Exercise 2 - Pump statistics part one
Objectives
Use the PIACE methods to calculate an operating time and an average consumption
Use PIACE date and time functions
Introduction
The goal of this exercise is to calculate daily statistics about a pump. Given the
instantaneous consumption and the state of the pump, we would like to derive its
daily operating time in hours and its running cost. We also need to validate data
quality to make sure our calculations make sense.
Exercise
Part A
PI ACE Class Module name: Runtime
Part B
Tag
ACE usage
Description
Pump:Consumption
Input
Instantaneous Watts
Pump:Operation
Input
Pump status
Pump:Runtime
Output
Current uptime since 12:00AM
Pump:Costs
Output
Total cost since 12:00AM
Page 16
Part C
The uptime is evaluated when the pump status is Active and accumulated
from 12:00AM to current time (Hint: use the .TimeEQ method)
The total cost from 12:00AM to current time can be estimated by multiplying
the average consumption by the price of electricity, which is about
7.23cents/KWh, and by the total time elapsed since midnight (Hint: use the
.Avg method and the time functions PIHour and PIMinute).
Our cost estimate will not be realistic if the data for the consumption is not
good. Make sure that at least 95% of the data has good quality, otherwise
write a Bad data status to the cost (Hint: use the .PctGood method).
If using VB .Net, Import the OSIsoft.PI.ACE.PIACEBIFunctions component to

limit the length of the string when using the time functions.
Part D
Debug, test and register your calculation to run every minute with normal priority.
Validate the result of your calculation with a graphical display in PI ProcessBook

Part A
menu.
Page 19
Part B
Part C
1. Write the code needed
Use t and * for your time reference
Divide the average consumption by 1000 to get KW
Use PIHour() and PIMinute() to get the total elapsed time (number of
hours). We are rounding the uptime to the minute.

2. In VB6
3. Or in VB .Net
Page 21

Part D
1. Debug your calculation and test your module
Page 22

3. Create a PI ProcessBook display showing the input data (Pump:Operation
and Pump:Consumption) along with your calculated output tags
(Pump:Runtime and Pump:Costs).
Page 23
Exercise 3 - Pump statistics part two
Objectives
Use the PIACE methods to calculate the number of starts for that pump
Compare current and previous status
Use natural based scheduling
Introduction
Following the previous exercise, we would like to calculate the number of starts for
this pump. A start is defined as the transition from the Inactive status to the
Active status.
Exercise
Part A
PI ACE Class Module name: Starts
Part B
Tag
ACE usage
Description
Pump:Operation
Input
Pump status
Pump:Starts
Input
Total # of starts since 12:00AM
Pump:Starts
Output
Total # of starts since 12:00AM
Page 24
Part C
On new event for the pump status, you need to validate the previous status of
the pump (Hint: use the .PrevVal method)
If the hour of the previous timestamp is greater than the hour of the current
timestamp (trigger event), you need to reset the number of start to 0 because
we have just crossed over midnight (Hint: use the .PrevEvent, PIHour and
PIMinute methods)
Part D
Debug, test and register your calculation to run every minute with normal priority.
Validate the result of your calculation with a graphical display in PI ProcessBook
