Showing 41

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...

Allow automatic interface restart based on Device Status

In some cases, such as when using a tunneller, the PI interface for OPC DA requires a restart to resume collecting data. A feature that allows an automatic restart of the service based on the value of the Device status Health tag would avoid human...

Parameter for restarting the interface if no connection to the OPC server can be established after a defined period of time

We use the Phoenix Contact Firewall with the OPC Inspector. When the OPC server restarts or breaks the connection for a few seconds, the firewall blocks all ports except port 135. After initial connection through this port, new firewall rules are ...

Add a configuration option to the OPC DA Interface so that the user can adjust the maximum advise tag exception delay for Event/Trigger tags

This affect to delay in Event\Trigger points. KCS: Delay in Event Points. When using Event Points, we purposefully do have a delay (if excMax is > 2 s then 2 s else 0.9*excMax) for advise tags (Trigger Point) before they're sent to the PI Serv...

Add a configuration option to UniInt so that the user can adjust the minimum wait time for checking for new events from the Update Manager

This affects the delay in Event\Trigger tags. KCS: Delay in Event Points. The largest and most variable delay seems to come from the time the event is written to the PI Server and the time the interface (UniInt) picks, which is between 0ms-1,000m...

Any Patches/Updates needed to be ready for Microsoft's DCOM hardening in 2023?

By March 2023 Microsoft will enforce a patch that upgrades DCOM security. Some applications that use DCOM (such as the PI OPC interface) will require some updates to continue to work. Are there any updates that I need to apply on any of the PI com...

UniInt Interface to support Kerberos when connecting to network drive for failover file

My ops team tells me that our UniInt-based interfaces (e.g. PItoPI, PerfMon, OPC DA) authenticate to network drives (when reading/writing failover files) using NTLM. I'm told Kerberos is much more secure than NTLM and they would like to see that b...
