RLINK for SAP PM

RLINK for SAP PM Overview

Interface to SAP R/3 PM (Plant Maintenance)

The SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) module tracks maintenance history and schedules maintenance activities. Critical information required to determine the status of equipment comes from the plant floor. These measurement points and counters are stored in SAP on an exception basis. This exception-based data is used to schedule maintenance.

OSIsoft's PM interface provides the following capabilities:
  • Single user view with point and click access to SAP equipment objects via PI ProcessBook
  • Support of alarm detection
  • Measurement points/counters by functional location and equipment
  • Equipment aliasing between systems
  • SAP R/3 notification generation
  • Interfaces via PM-PCS (Plant Maintenance - Process Control System) RFC Library

OSIsoft's interface to the plant maintenance (PM) module converts data as monitored by the control and maintenance system into data that can be recognized by SAP R/3. For example, measurement points and counters for functional or equipment locations can be captured and a maintenance program can be set up based on this information.
