    Use /opcstopstat when both interfaces in failover pair are shut down

    We would like to have some sort of digital state such as "Intf Shut" written to all OPC tags when both interfaces in a failover pair are shut down. Currently, the /opcstopstat and /stopstat parameters (which write a specified state to all tags wh...

    PI Interface for OPC DA bitmask plugin with float data type

    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...

    Interface should reload performance counters after failover and keep track of them.

    The interface should be designed to reload counters both at startup and when becoming the active interface after a failover. The interface should realize the counter is not available and periodically attempt to reload (ideally with a message to th...

    Support DST Transition on Second Granularity in PI SDK

    A user tries to retrieve date with timestamp 03-Nov-2018 23:59:59 (1 second before Daylight Saving Time beginning) in PI SMT, but the returned event has a timestamp of 04-Nov-2018 00:59:59. This is because PISDK timezone design is such that it can...

    Convert incoming string data to float and provide division all in the same tag instead of a PE

    OPC server is outputting data with the currency data type (VT_CY) and it needs to be stored in the float type.  As per the OPCtoCSV document, the OPCtoCSV tool/OPC interface invokes VariantChangeType in order to convert this currency value to...

    OPC DA, A&E historical recovery

    We have seen that the primary OPC interface will be connected but we don't see data coming across since the OPC server itself seems to have a problem. Since the connection is still active we won't failover to the secondary. We have to leave Notifi...
