PI Interface for UFL

Showing 25

File name extensions "_OK" and "BAD" / Deletion of correctly read lines

We operate a UFL interface that evaluates CSV files with additional analysis data and reads data for existing PI tags, storing the values (including timestamps) in the PI server archives. Our UFL interface is not permitted to create PI tags. I hav...

Change UFLDesigner to use .NET 4.6.2 or above

Currently, the UFL Designer uses .NET 3.5, which, unless you install during initial server configuration, is next to impossible to install later on if you have a server on a protected domain with no internet access. Installing .NET 3.5 also requir...

Support Regex engine in the message filters

It would be nice to have regex matching and replace in PI UFL ini files. Also, would be nice to have anything other than ASCII encoding support (ex UTF-8..with/without BOM, etc) Use cases: ex. we need to parse timestamps where year has either 2 o...

UFL Interface - Increase UFL designer sample data file size limit beyond 50 KB

The UFL designer currently limits the sample data file size to 50 KB. This requires users to truncate their text files until it is below this limit.

Allow the UFL interface to delete PI tag data or provide some other supported automated method of deleting PI data from a collective.

There is no way to easily delete data in a time range if you want the changes to occur on both the primary and secondary data archive. It seems the UFL interface would be good to use to do this. You could provide it a tag name and time range and t...

Add TCP option to PI UFL Interface

Currently the only two options are file reading or a serial interface. But what if you have ASCII data streaming from a TCP/telnet source? The configuration would be almost the same as serial - for the connection, rather than a serial port, just n...

PI UFL ._OK file rename should be after parsing to avoid data loss during shutdowns

My understanding of UFL (confirmed by tech support) is that it will rename files to ._OK extension before loading lines into memory. This means that if the service is stopped (such as during an update) and it has not completely read into memory an...

Please add a DAYOFWEEK function to the UFL interface

Can you please add a DAYOFWEEK function to the available functions in the UFL interface. This will greatly assist with the handling of daylight savings transitions (e.g. first sunday in April) as there is currently no easy way of determining the ...

UFL Designer should include a test mode to verify INI behavior with a data file.

One can do this, to some extent, piecemeal with functionality the UFL Designer already has. However, it's a very manual process and does not actually have a way to show what data would be sent to PI for a particular file. An explicit test mode or ...
