CIM Adapter for AVEVA PI System

SISCO’s CIM Adapter for use with the PI System™ combines the power of AVEVA’s world-leading infrastructure for real-time performance management with the application integration and common information exchange model capabilities of the IEC CIM.

The SISCO CIM Adapter processes modeling information, such as a network connectivity model, and automatically configures the PI Asset Framework™ (PI AF) for those points that are being historized by the PI Server™. The SISCO CIM Adapter organizes the PI Tags within the context of models familiar to the user such as the IEC Common Information Model (CIM) per IEC 61970/61968 or a user-defined data model. The adapter can also be integrated with SISCO’s Utility Integration Bus (UIB) to synchronize the PI AF models with changes made to the model in external systems.

The SISCO CIM Adapter provides a solution for electric utilities that enables them to leverage their existing power system models to better manage the complexity of their smart grid systems while minimizing manual reconfiguration and data handling.
