My ideas: PI Connector for UFL

Showing 56 of 4928

Remove or disable the PI Connector UFL function which puts "Excluded" into attributes

If the user has two different UFL flows working on same elements and attributes, one flow puts "Excluded" into the attributes created within the second one and vice versa. Giving the possibility to the user to disable this function would be a sma...

Connector (UFL) can read AF data structure

Right now it is a limitation because of the current functionality / design. In the future it would be nice if: - the connector can read the existing AF structure - update the existing AF structure - create elements / EF / attributes under existin...

Create/Write to Child Attributes

I would like to be able to write to Child attributes with the UFL connector using the StoreInElement function. Currently, it seems that the Connector cannot write to or create an attribute with a path like: ..\Element|ParentAttribute|ChildAttribu...

PI UFL Connector Event Frame Generator enhancement and bugfixes

Currently it is not possible to create an event frame from the PI UFL Connector linked to an existing element, despite the documentation does not specifically mention this restriction, you can only link the new event frame to an element created wi...

Add a Boolean data type

Boolean variables are useful for reusing Boolean (sub)expressions, concise debugging of the value of a Boolean expression, and extraction and storage of Boolean values before writing to Int32 PI status tags (e.g. on/off status, open/closed status).

Be able to modify the PI Point prefix from the PI Connector for UFL administration page

It does not make sense that edits to some of the PI Connector for UFL's JSON files can be done through the administration page, but not all. The administration page should be a 1-stop configuration shop.

Allow dynamic parameters in URL

Often third party web API needs input parameters so static URL is not enough. Sometimes parameters are simple, e.g. current data, or can be derived from PI tags; these could be set with placeholder in configuration.

Allow specifying UOM for new AF attributes created by UFL or OMF

I'd like the ability to specify UOM for new attributes that I create. Adding categories as well would be even better!

Enhance the Timestamp data type to support all the formats allowed on .NET

Use case: ISO 8601 timestamps (2019-07-08T18:48:02+00:00), would be much easier to parse with full .NET datatime format support. It would also allow the connector to be consistent with the dynamic timestamp formatting that follows https://docs.mi...

Try catch management

Actually, if an error occurs during data processing, datasource stops immediately execution and skips the remaining rows. Try catch or similar could increase stability of data acquisition.
