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

Capture data from ABB 800xA that doesn't follow ISA88

ABB 800xA offers a batch capture mode that is more flexible than ISA88 since it doesn't match all unit procedures to units, but rather acquires them at the beginning of the batch. Currently the interface is designed to only retrieve batches that f...

Double check window required when deleting an instance in PI Event Frames Interface Manager

As a PI System Admin, I would like to see a confirmation window (acceptation pop-up message), when deleting Interface instances in PI Event Frames Interface Manager. This would minimize the deletion of the instances by error.

Factory Talk Batch Interface EVT file contains useful data in the Recipe column. Can we please add Recipe as a placeholder in the Interface?

The EVT file from FTB has 27 columns, the most populated one is Recipe. There is useful information there that could be used to filter and select data for storage in PI. Unfortunately it isn't available in the Placeholder list of 42 placeholders f...

Enable logging of 5.x batch interface messages to the local PI message log again

Message logs for 5.X Batch interfaces and Connectors are written to Windows Event Viewer instead of PI Message Logs as in previous versions. The Windows Event Log is extremely slow compared to viewing PI message logs, the filtering is worse, the m...

Create 'Close Event Frame delay' setting

When you create PI Point Data Reference attributes in event frame templates that are used by PI Batch Interfaces, the PI Batch Interface will be responsible for resolving and capturing this PI Point data as soon as it closes the corresponding even...

Suppress creation of an AF Element hierarchy

As a PI Admin, I may have already created a AF Element Hierarchy corresponding to my BES or MES source data. Therefore I have no need for the interface to create a new AF Elements and I would like to suppress this completely.
