Batch Framework Interfaces - Officially support fanning tag data to a PI Collective

Unlike other PI interfaces, the Batch Framework Interfaces do not use buffering. If the interface loses connection to the PI Data Archive, the interface continues collecting data and stores it in its local cache. The PI Batch Database is primary-o...

ICU startup on high latency networks

On high latency networks, it can take ICU many minutes to start because every interface on the PI Data Archive is checked. Minimize startup time by caching a node's registered interfaces.
Guest over 1 year ago in PI Interfaces / PI Interface Configuration Utility (PI ICU) 9 Future Consideration

Remote PI ICU

Regardless of where interface info are stored (PI Module DB or AF), it would be useful to have a remote client tool allowing administrator users to configure interfaces  like they do with tags and AF objects. Today when you have to change configur...

Migrate the PI ICU settings away from the PI Module Database

PI ICU settings are currently the main reason why the PI Module Database continues to live on even the most up-to-date PI systems. Please consider migrating the PI ICU settings from the PI Module Database to the PI Asset Framework or a separate fi...

Store bad quality from OPC server

Enhance the OPC DA Interface to store bad quality values from his OPC Server in PI, so that the values, timestamp and status from bad quality data are saved in PI.  Note: This was previously Enhancement 114636.

Update EFGen Interface Health Tags To Allow For Better Status Monitoring

The current EFGen interface "Status" health tag displays a value of "Good" if it is connected to the data source but does not factor in if it is writing Event Frame data to PI. There is not currently a straightforward way to drive a PI Notificatio...

PI Interface for OPC UA

While it is understood that adapters are the future of data source connectivity; there is an immediate need for existing PI system users (especially in the Chemical industry) to transition their data sources from using OPC DA to OPC UA. Many of th...

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...

Add SOAP 1.2 support to the PI Interface for OPC XML-DA

The current version of the PI Interface for OPC XML-DA seems to only support SOAP 1.1. All recent OPC XML-DA servers are developed following SOAP 1.2 standards, meaning the PI interface will not connect. Please enhance the interface to also suppor...

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 ...
