Batch Interfaces

Have the FTB Interface support multiple stop events for Unit Procedures

There are instances where a batch must be manipulated creating two Unit Released events in the event file. The desired behavior for the PI FactoryTalk Batch Interface would be for the second end time to overwrite the first end time when data is be...

Have the FTB interface not truncate the trailing "-#" index (e.g. UnitProcedureName-1) at the end of a Unit Procedure

Some FactoryTalk batch processes have overlapping Unit Procedures with trailing indexes. Because the trailing index is truncated it results in overlapping Unit Procedures with the same name which are then merged. The desired behavior would be for ...

Have the FTB interface capture "Active Step Change Commencing" events as event frames

Some FactoryTalk batch processes require "Active Step Change Commencing" event to be part of the batch hierarchy however the PI Interface for Factory Talk Batch starts event frames only on [EVENT] = "System Message" or "State Change".

PI EMDVB - Set Procedure start time to match first Unit Procedure start time

Currently, when an operator adds a new batch to the DeltaV Batch List, that "creation" action starts a new EF Procedure. But the batch might sit in that list for a long time before the Unit actually starts processing it. This leads to a huge empty...

Batch interfaces keeping merged child operation EventFrames open until the parent Operation EventFrame has been closed.

Currently for batch interfaces using the /MUP parameter, child operation event frames might be reopened and closed multiple times until the last operation event frame closes and the child event frame is closed for good. For example with UnitProced...

PI EMDVB Interface should not use the STARTUP.dat to determine recovery start time when configured in Failover and running in RealTime mode.

Currently when the PI Interface for Emerson DeltaV Batch (EMDVB) is configured for failover and running in RealTime mode, the interface will use a recovery start time (RST) based on the last time the interface was active. This results in the inter...

Batch interface to AF connection health monitoring tag

Having a health tag for batch interfaces which monitors the connection status between the interface and its corresponding AF server. This way, users can be informed if there are any issues with the interface creating event frames on AF.

Allow some IF checking for TagPath to see if it exists or has a value before putting it on an Event Frame Attribute.

It would be useful to be able to add tags to Event Frame Attributes that only exist or have a value. This came up with a request to merge Batch and A&E so that Alarm Tags made by the A&E interface can be added to Event Frames made by the B...

Enable logging of 5.x batch interface messages to the local PI message log again

Message logs for 5.X Batch interfaces and Connectors are written to Windows Event Viewer instead of PI Message Logs as in previous versions. The Windows Event Log is extremely slow compared to viewing PI message logs, the filtering is worse, the m...
