PI Interface for OPC DA

Showing 39 of 4881

Enhancement for Advise tags to poll  OPC server when Excmax expires

Currently, when an advise tag does not get a value in an ExcMax period,  the interface will send the same value to PI over again without going to the OPC server (assuming that the OPC interface has not disconnected from the OPC server during ...

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 ...

AutoPointSync for OPC DA should work on 64bit servers.

AutoPointSync for OPC DA does not install or run correctly on 64bit servers. As most new servers are 64bit this would seem to be an essential capability.

Support redundancy with OPC event tags

Currently, with OPC event tags, if the connection between the interface and PI Data Archive is broken and signups lost, the event tags will stop polling the OPC server for data. I would like to see a level of redundancy added whereby if the OPC-PI...

Allow OPC DA  Output Tags to capture OOO events

Currently there is no way to send corrected values to the OPC DA Server since they are triggered by snapshot. It would be useful if there was a way to alter the values that get sent in case there are substituted/replaced values.

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...

Modifying the functionality of Trend Advise feature for PI OPC interface

As a PI OPC Interface user I would like to get step-like trends whenever that the Trend Advise parameter is enabled (even with having large exception and compression deviations that filter some of the events) so that I don't need to enable the ste...
