PI Interface for OPC DA

Showing 34

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

When OPC DA interface receives an "Server returned Invalid Client Handle" error, device status tags do not show that error and therefore potential situations where data is not being received by the interface are missed I would be good that device ...

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...

Allow automatic interface restart based on Device Status

In some cases, such as when using a tunneller, the PI interface for OPC DA requires a restart to resume collecting data. A feature that allows an automatic restart of the service based on the value of the Device status Health tag would avoid human...

Any Patches/Updates needed to be ready for Microsoft's DCOM hardening in 2023?

By March 2023 Microsoft will enforce a patch that upgrades DCOM security. Some applications that use DCOM (such as the PI OPC interface) will require some updates to continue to work. Are there any updates that I need to apply on any of the PI com...

PI interface for OPC DAの配列型タグ対応

PI interface for OPC DAを配列タグ対応にしてほしい。東芝製DCSのデジタルデータの場合、状態を配列型で存在している(例:種別「PB8」、ITEM「LS1」の場合8ビット。種別「PB4」、ITEM「SS1」の場合4ビット)。この値を取得する際、1ビットずつ取得した後にAF演算で1つの値に計算している。対象全タグに対してこの処理を行うことは大変なので、interfaceのところで一度に全ビット取得し、1つの値として取り扱いたい。

UniInt Interface to support Kerberos when connecting to network drive for failover file

My ops team tells me that our UniInt-based interfaces (e.g. PItoPI, PerfMon, OPC DA) authenticate to network drives (when reading/writing failover files) using NTLM. I'm told Kerberos is much more secure than NTLM and they would like to see that b...

PI Interface for OPC DA and VT_ARRAY|VT_BSTR datatype

PI Interface for OPC DA has a plugin called "Time Array" to manage numerical arrays but string arrays are not supported. It would be a good improvement to develop this feature for string arrays.

Enhance the OPC Interface to specify which groups are not receiving data

When a polled group does not receive data for more than 2 scan cycles, the interface updates the device status health point to 5 | Error | One or more groups not getting data. It will be useful to also specify which scan classes did not receive da...

Enhancement for Advise tags to poll  OPC server when Excmax expires

Currently, when an advise tag does not get a value in an ExcMax period,  the interface will send the same value to PI over again without going to the OPC server (assuming that the OPC interface has not disconnected from the OPC server during ...

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 ...
