yineipiCont

yineipiCont is a software project that provides a Python interface for interacting with the PI System, a popular industrial data historian developed by OSIsoft. The project aims to simplify data retrieval, configuration, and management tasks within the PI System for Python developers.

The core functionality of yineipiCont revolves around accessing time-series data. It allows users to query historical data points based on timestamps, attributes, and tags. This includes retrieving individual data values, ranges of data, and aggregated data such as averages or minimums over specified periods. Beyond data retrieval, yineipiCont also offers capabilities for writing data back to the PI System. This can be useful for applications that need to update PI tags or inject data from external sources.

The project is designed to be user-friendly, abstracting away much of the complexity of the PI System's underlying APIs. It leverages established Python libraries and follows common Python conventions, making it accessible to developers already familiar with the language. yineipiCont can be used in a variety of applications, including data analysis, process monitoring, machine learning model integration, and automation within industrial environments that utilize the PI System. Its open-source nature encourages community contributions and ongoing development.
