The Ultimate Combination Chart for PI Vision

Combine bars, lines, areas, and scatter plots on a single, powerful chart. Combo Chart+ gives you the flexibility to visualize complex relationships and tell a complete data story in one place.

Unleash Your Data's Full Potential

Versatile Charting Engine

  • Combine Any Chart Type: Overlay lines, bars (stacked or grouped), areas, and scatter plots for comprehensive visuals.
  • Multiple Y-Axes: Display data with different scales and units on unlimited, configurable Y-axes.
  • Sparkline Mode: Enable compact, minimalist chart views perfect for dashboards and summary tables.

Powerful Analytical Overlays

  • Event Frame Visualization: Overlay event frames directly on the chart to correlate events with process data.
  • Multistate Limit Lines: Use multistate features to clearly display operational limits, targets, or thresholds.
  • On-Demand Statistics: Calculate statistics like averages, min, and max values by simply selecting a time range on the chart.

Intuitive User Experience

  • Customizable Time Range: Easily adjust the time range for targeted, ad hoc analysis.
  • One-Click Data Export: Export chart data in CSV or JSON formats for external analysis and reporting.
  • No-Code Configuration: All features are managed through an easy-to-use panel directly within PI Vision.

Bring Statistical Process Control (SPC) Back to PI Vision

For years, users have missed the built-in SPC capabilities of PI ProcessBook. With Combo Chart+, you can finally create powerful SPC control charts directly within modern PI Vision dashboards.

  • Visualize Control Limits: Plot your process variable as a line and overlay your Upper and Lower Control Limits (UCL/LCL) as separate traces.
  • Identify Special Causes: Use multistate coloring to automatically highlight points that violate standard SPC rules (e.g., Nelson, WECO).
  • Correlate with Events: Overlay event frames on your control chart to instantly see how process upsets impact statistical performance.

Energy & Utility Consumption

Compare electricity usage (line chart) with gas consumption (bar chart) on a single timeline with multiple Y-axes.

Quality & Process Correlation

Plot a key quality parameter as a scatter plot over your main process variable to identify correlations.
