Monitoring Connector health

Support for health tags (similar to UniInt health tags), Windows performance counters, or any other way to bring Connector status and health information into PI tags to put them side-by-side with Interface health monitoring.

Allow restarting on a data source basis instead of having to restart the connector

Example 1 - OPC If a new connection needs to be made to one OPC Server, restarting the connector forces all data sources (and potentially connections to multiple OPC Servers) to be restarted. Example 2 - UFL If my web service is down and I do not...

Output tags on connectors

Sometimes we need to send data back to our sources. Connectors should support output tags

Support Assigning Point Sources for Connectors

Connectors currently assign point sources; this is not user configurable.  In addition, all connector of like kind get the same point source.  This makes it difficult to determine which tags "belong" to which connector node.  Users ...

PI Connector for IEC 60870-5-104 bi-directional between SCADA and PI

RWE Power AG “But one really important feature we need, is the ability to write back from PI into the SCADA system Until now, we couldn’t find anything about this (important) functionality. So our question is if we can use this connector bi-dire...

Merge Two Tags or Copy Tag Data to a New Point

Sometimes, when dealing with APS, a new TAG is generated for an existing point. Data stops going to the old point. It would be nice if there was an easy way, within the gui (not manually dumping and importing) that we could take the values from on...

PI Connector for MQTT - support more generic JSON formats

While the existing support for Sparkplug MQTT format is helpful, this connector would be more useful if it also supported a more generic JSON format.

Failover for PI Connector Relay

Although, the PI Connector Relay going down / not being available does not cause data loss since the connector data is buffered, if the source connector supports Failover, the relay becomes the only single point of failure in the data flow. Havi...

OMF Support PI Connector Relay

Keep the OMF support in PI Connector Relay, also add the new OMF Versions to it not just only OMF 1.0. Not just leave the OMF support to the PI WebAPI. In many customer scenarios, the PI Connector relay is an easier solution than PI WebAPI.

Support Failover at the data source level

For PI Connector (1.x) that support failover like OPC UA, failover will only occur when all data sources get into a bad state. Failover should not have to be configure at the PI Connector node level, but for each data source. Use case 1: If 3 con...
