Wants to continue its development of the interface. Initial meetings promising and very cooperative.

HAB Connect, Events& Alarms developed by OSIsoft. Ongoing discussions for eTerra upgrade path and connector technology

GE produces the interface and may influence the Alstom discussion.

ABB meetings being scheduled for late September 2016 on new approach for the PI interface.

Siemens has current initiative underway for improving the PI interface. Initial meeting is schedule in September 2016.

ADMS connectivity being developed with PI & CleraSCADA

OSIsoft Message Format (OMF)

• OMF is/does:– A simple, message based contract for data ingress– A written specification and sample code– Support for metadata and streaming data– Operating system and programming language agnostic– Support multiple binary formats and protocol bindings– Support for on premises and cloud services scenarios– Supplemental to existing and new PI interfaces and PI Connectors

• OMF is not:– A replacement for PI Web API, AF SDK, or any other OSIsoft API– An application development framework

OSIsoft seeking to be involved in either PDI

Next Steps

• Continue Discussion with EMS Vendors

• Leverage Best Approaches

• Share Information with Clients

• Evolve the Connector
