CIM Adapter

CIM Adapter integrates the AVEVA PI System with IEC 61970/61968 Common Information Model to import CIM-XML models and network connectivity into PI Asset Framework. It automates tag creation, removes tag-name dependencies, and synchronizes external power system model changes for historization and model-driven PI applications.

Product Overview

• Integrates PI with IEC CIM models for power systems and applications.
• Imports CIM-XML into PI AF and auto-creates tag names.
• Enables enterprise semantic models and tag change management across enterprises.
• Synchronizes AF with external models via difference files and messages.

CIM Adapter integrates PI Asset Framework with IEC 61970/61968 Common Information Model, importing CIM-XML and network connectivity. It auto-creates PI tag names, removes tag dependencies, and manages incremental changes. Model synchronization and historization capture external updates via difference files and instance data, enabling reusable, discoverable PI applications within power systems.

Target Market

Ideal for utility grid operators, EMS/DMS engineers, PI administrators, and OT/IT integration teams in electric transmission and distribution. Used when importing CIM topology into PI AF, managing tag naming changes, synchronizing EMS/DMS models, and historizing model updates to support analytics and model-based PI applications.
