    PI Interface for OPC DA has a plugin called "Bitmask" to extract specific bits from regular OPC values that are of type Int (i.e VT_I2 / VT_I4 / VT_UI2) but other data types such as floats are not supported. It would be good to have Float data typ...

    Have the FTB Interface support multiple stop events for Unit Procedures

    There are instances where a batch must be manipulated creating two Unit Released events in the event file. The desired behavior for the PI FactoryTalk Batch Interface would be for the second end time to overwrite the first end time when data is be...

    Have the FTB interface not truncate the trailing "-#" index (e.g. UnitProcedureName-1) at the end of a Unit Procedure

    Some FactoryTalk batch processes have overlapping Unit Procedures with trailing indexes. Because the trailing index is truncated it results in overlapping Unit Procedures with the same name which are then merged. The desired behavior would be for ...

    Have the FTB interface capture "Active Step Change Commencing" events as event frames

    Some FactoryTalk batch processes require "Active Step Change Commencing" event to be part of the batch hierarchy however the PI Interface for Factory Talk Batch starts event frames only on [EVENT] = "System Message" or "State Change".

    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...

    Set individual database update interval for PI Web API Search Crawler

    Currently the update interval is set on a global level.  If a user has an extremely large database, it would be nice to set that large database's update interval individually.  That way increasing the Update Interval doesn't affect all...
