Preferring a primary interface failover member

hen the primary Interface becomes available and healthy again, it becomes "back up". I need the primary Interface to become the "primary" whenever it is healthy. https://pisquare.osisoft.com/thread/42591-revert-back-to-primary-data-collector

Clamp Value at Limit

Ability to clamp or ignore values outside a threshold. Example would be to clamp the low value to 'zero' attribute and/or a high value at 'span' - many xmtrs read erratically when at limit (e.g., an empty flow transmitter often reads negative)

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...

PI interface for OPC .. UA
