PI Interface Configuration Utility (PI ICU)

Make the ICU maximize button work.

Clicking the maximize button in the ICU makes it take up the whole screen but the fields remain the same size. If the fields resized as well, it would make reading and entry in some of the smaller fields easier.

Enhance the PI-ICU to include a rolling buffer regardless of connection to the PI Data Archive

During a Disaster Recovery test our team discovered that there will be up to 24 hours of data loss since our VM's are cloned once a day and the PI-ICU interfaces don't start caching data until the data archive has been disconnected. Essentially - ...

Follow PIMsgLog messages for the selected interface only

The Follow PI Message Log button on the ICU follows the entire PI Message Log. If there are lots of interfaces or other services running and posting to the message log, the messages for the interface I have just restarted get lost. It would be use...

ICU startup on high latency networks

On high latency networks, it can take ICU many minutes to start because every interface on the PI Data Archive is checked. Minimize startup time by caching a node's registered interfaces.

Upgrade the PI Interface Configuration Utility to a responsive web-based user interface

Migrate the PI ICU settings away from the PI Module Database

PI ICU settings are currently the main reason why the PI Module Database continues to live on even the most up-to-date PI systems. Please consider migrating the PI ICU settings from the PI Module Database to the PI Asset Framework or a separate fi...

Remote PI ICU

Regardless of where interface info are stored (PI Module DB or AF), it would be useful to have a remote client tool allowing administrator users to configure interfaces  like they do with tags and AF objects. Today when you have to change configur...

Improve error messages in PI ICU

Currently if you attempt to create a service for a UniInt interface without a service ID you get an error message "Unknown Error" (see attached screenshot) Generally review and improve error messages to be meaningful but also allow the creation o...
