AVEVA PI Server Access

Access data from PI Asset Framework and PI Data Archive

Industrial Communication Toolbox™ provides functions to access the AVEVA® PI Asset Framework (AF) server. The functions enable you to browse AF databases, search for elements and attributes, and retrieve current or historical data from attributes. (since R2026a)

The toolbox also allows you to connect to an AVEVA PI Data Archive to search for tags and perform read or write operations on their data.
