    Mass create data source list for PI Connector

    For the PI Connector for EtherNet IP you can have up to 100 data sources. Typing in all of them is tedious. It would be nice if we could copy/paste information from Excel OR have a structured import/export file to the data source list.

    PI Connector for Ethernet IP should retrieve tagnames from the PLC array

    The AF Hierarchy that is created by the connector does not take into consideration any of the tagnames within the PLC array, it just creates attributes for them as slot.n where “n” is a number corresponding to the array position. Not only is this ...

    Connector provides Timestamps

    The EtherNet/IP protocol does not specify timestamps when data is transmitted, the connector currently assigns the timestamps base on when the data is being processed. This leads to the following issue, if the network/computer/etc gets busy, we w...

    Have an option in AF Security to not pass down database security to newly created objects

    Use case: We want to give a user read access to a single element. All future elements created inherit the Database level Security, meaning the user will also have read access to all future created elements.

    Hide Certain PI Point Attributes from Users

    Implement a way to hide the contents of a PI point attribute, specifically the Instrumenttag attribute. With many PI interfaces, the InstrumentTag attribute will store the IP address of the source, and we (as well as many other utilities) have a r...

    User rights for viewing analytics
