What Are PI Vision Custom Symbols?
PI Vision custom symbols are advanced visual components that extend the functionality of AVEVA PI Vision. These custom symbols are written in Javascript/HTML, and use the PI Vision Extensibility Framework.
Vision Suite Ultimate gives you a complete library of these symbols—ready to use, professionally supported, and easily configurable in your existing PI Vision environment.
Why Native PI Vision Isn’t Always Enough
AVEVA PI Vision ships with a default symbol library: trends, values, bar charts, tables. It’s great for quick process displays, but limited for operational teams who need a real dashboarding and reporting tool on top of the PI System.
How Do Custom Symbols Work?
Custom symbols are built using JavaScript (AngularJS) and deployed on the PI Vision server. Each symbol typically consists of:
- A symbol definition (JavaScript)
- A template file
- A configuration panel (optional)
They’re registered automatically by PI Vision and show up in the symbol palette alongside native components.
With Vision Suite Ultimate, you don’t need to build or maintain these yourself.
You get access to a curated collection of high-quality custom symbols — ready to use.
