EMDVB Data Type Enhancement

Please include option in the DeltaV EMDVB interface that can handle the timestamp format used with .evt files. Currently, if in the interface a trigger is used with a property, the timestamp format in the .evt file is retained, which cannot be sto...

Restrict Batch interface from creating Event Frames using illegal characters

The PI Interface for Rockwell FactoryTalk Batch in processing evt files used a hexadecimal character of 1f in the generation of an event frame. This results in an error when attempting to export the event frame in an xml output.

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...

Update EFGen Interface Health Tags To Allow For Better Status Monitoring

The current EFGen interface "Status" health tag displays a value of "Good" if it is connected to the data source but does not factor in if it is writing Event Frame data to PI. There is not currently a straightforward way to drive a PI Notificatio...

Create 'Close Event Frame delay' setting

When you create PI Point Data Reference attributes in event frame templates that are used by PI Batch Interfaces, the PI Batch Interface will be responsible for resolving and capturing this PI Point data as soon as it closes the corresponding even...

Allow Tag Template Triggers to trigger on blank placeholders

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".

Batch Framework Interfaces - [TIME] placeholder should consider whether TS=LCL is configured

Batch Framework Interfaces - [TIME] and [TIMESTAMP] placeholders should consider whether TS=LCL is configured (meaning the interface is processing incoming events as Local Time). Currently, values of these placeholders always show up as GMT timest...
