CIM-to-PI Asset Framework Integration

CIM Adapter

CIM Adapter imports your CIM-based power system model — from your EMS, DMS, or GIS system — directly into AVEVA PI Asset Framework, organizing your data the way your grid is actually built. When the model changes, CIM Adapter updates PI AF automatically.

Model-Driven PI AF Configuration

Imports CIM-XML model definitions directly into PI Asset Framework, with no manual tag mapping or custom scripting.

Automatic Model Synchronization

Delivers model changes to PI AF automatically via CIM difference files or CIM Instance Data messages, with no manual reconfiguration.

Tag-Independent Applications

PI applications reference equipment by model identity, not hardcoded tag names, so analytics and displays survive model changes intact.

What CIM Adapter Delivers

AVEVA PI captures every measurement your power system produces, but without a model-driven structure, PI Asset Framework reflects a flat list of tags — not the substations, feeders, and transformers your engineers actually work with. CIM Adapter organizes PI around your grid's real topology and keeps it current automatically.

  • Model-driven PI AF configuration — no manual tag mapping, no custom scripting
  • Network topology organized in PI by substation, feeder, and equipment type
  • Automated tag creation and naming directly from model definitions
  • Incremental synchronization that updates PI AF automatically as your model changes
  • Application independence from tag names — analytics and displays survive model changes intact
