    Program objects (BACnet object type 16) also bought through by the connector

    The program object description is often very useful to understand what the various object instances relate to. At our site the description holds the Asset designation and that would allow correct assignment of the analogue and binary object instan...

    PI Datalink officially supports Excel 2024

    My customer is using PI Datalink with Excel2024 instead of Excel365 because policy prevents the addition or update of each person's Excel functionality. I would like to add Excel2024 to the PI DataLink Compatibility Matrix for these customers.

    Distribute-Broadcast-To-Network broadcast for Discovery Tool and Connector

    When running the discovery tool from a subnet with no BBMD to query BACnet devices on a separate subnet, it seems like the auto discovery tool is seen as a ‘foreign device’, so the devices do not respond correctly. When analyzing a Wireshark trac...

    Automatically check for updates

    Please add a feature that automatically checks for updates when PI DataLink starts up. This way, the updates come to the user rather than the user having to check if there is an update.

    Increase the maximum timeout for the BACnet Discovery Utility with the PI Connector for BACnet

    If a user has many BACnet devices/objects discoveries can take some time. Since the BACnet Discovery Utility has a maximum timeout of 240 seconds, this utility can cannot be used in these scenarios and manual creation of the csv is required which ...

    Include Option to Install Legacy Add-Ins Via Installation Wizard

    Many users utilize the legacy add-ins for DataLink through VBA code.  Starting with DataLink 2016, the add-ins are not installed by default and so upgrades and new installations can prevent existing spreadsheets from working if additional ste...
