AVEVA Adapter for OPC UA

Showing 16

PI Adapter for OPC UA should be able to write outputs to the OPC UA Server

The PI Adapter should be able to create a data pipe listener on certain streams (unsolicited reads) that would trigger the writes back to the OPC UA Server. This is useful when providing set points to the equipment without the need of establishin...

PI Adapter for OPC UA should poll a series of items based on a trigger events

Same as the PI Interface for OPC DA feature with "Trigger Tags", the idea is to poll for updates on a series of item streams (tags) only when a certain item stream updates. The benefit of this is to create timestamp alignments between a series of...

PI Adapter for OPC UA Array Support

As a PI System Administrator, I would like for the PI Adapter for OPC UA to support array data types from the OPC UA Server. A large amount of our data may be contained within arrays on our OPC UA Server, so we would not currently be able to colle...

Sampling/Publishing Interval parameters to be part of Data Selection description

When configuring the AVEVA Adapters in general, we would find more convenient to be able to define the ‘Sampling Interval’ and 'Publishing Interval' parameters inside the ‘Data Selection’ configuration per each data stream. For instance, when desc...

PI Adapter for OPC UA should be able to capture alarm and events (A&E)

OPC UA Servers now implement A&E, especially in the Life Sciences industry. We need to be able to capture these into PI tags using the PI Adapter for OPC UA technology.

Allow the PI Point description to not be populated by the adapter

Implement a configuration flag that allows one to NOT synchronize description from OPC UA server into PI Tag. In instances where the description is empty "", the description cannot be set in PI. Similarly, the description on the OPC UA Server sid...

PI Adapter for OPC UA data conversion

As a PI System Administrator, I would like to be able to apply conversion factors to the data that is being gathered from our OPC UA server. This would allow us to get data in the format/units we'd like, without requiring extra tags and/or calcula...

Please add a feature for the OPC UA adapter to enable the adapter to only store values with a good status or rather filtering out bad values

When receiving bad values from the OPC UA Server to the adapter there is no option to filter out bad values. So these values get stored in the Data Archive and are causing problems with analyses (e.g. expression or Event Frame generation). At the ...

Ua Server force failover / improve failover logic

Let me preface this by saying that I know it is a workaround for a non-compliance with the OPC UA specifications. The point is that the situation described below is unfortunately all too common and the workaround is needed. It often happens that t...

Prevent PI Adapter for OPC UA from modifying/override stream overrides and metadata upon restart

Problem: I have configured PI Adapter for OPC UA to collect data from an OPC UA Server. Since UoMs are not assigned properly, I created stream overrides in AVEVA Data Hub to assign the proper UoM to the particular stream. I also associated stream ...
