OPC interface retries sending InstrumentTag/ItemID to OPC Server

The idea is to have PI Interface for OPC DA/HDA to be able to send again Instrument Tag/Item ID after a configurable time when OPC Server is not able to resolve it (AddItem failed). This would be a workaround for an OPC server issue and would help...

Enhance the OPC DA interface to avoid mixing polled and advise tags on the same scan class

The interface does not log any informational messages about polled and advise tags getting mixed up on a scan class. Currently it would detect that polled tags are part of scan class 1 and reject it and print the following: E 13-Apr-16 17:26:18 ...

Device status tags do not show OPC DA server Invalid client handle errors

Interface should reload performance counters after failover and keep track of them.

The interface should be designed to reload counters both at startup and when becoming the active interface after a failover. The interface should realize the counter is not available and periodically attempt to reload (ideally with a message to th...

AutoPointSync for OPC DA should work on 64bit servers.

AutoPointSync for OPC DA does not install or run correctly on 64bit servers. As most new servers are 64bit this would seem to be an essential capability.

change the default behavior of the OPC DA interface to use /DC

per the OPC DA 2.x spec, the OPC server will call us back for all points that have a changes; even those points where we are polling. We have a switch to disable the callbacks for points that are not set to advise: /DC Can we make that the d...
