AMS Performance Advisor receives measurement input data from existing field instrumentation or from manually-entered values. Data can be connected to any manufacturer’s DCS or data historian. This flexibility means that plants with multiple sources of input data and information systems can unify their performance calculations in a single, centralized location.
Data connectivity methods are based around industry-standard OPC or OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) for process control. Popular plant historians, such as OSI® PI® are also supported.
AMS Performance Advisor can support data that is entered several times per shift rather than continuously measured. The manual data is submitted directly into the DCS or historian where AMS Performance Advisor will access using the same method as the continuously measured values.
