PI Connector for UFL

Showing 56

Add a type casting function or operator

The INI files would be shorter and more readable if the PI Connector for UFL had a type casting function or operator. For example, if you are incrementing a Counter variable (type Int32) for each data line, and your tag names are Tag1, Tag2, etc....

Allow overriding of point and data security newly created points

As a PI Admin, I want to specify my desired point and data security in the UFL configuration files for the new tags that the connector creates. I want to be able to set this on an instance by instance basis to override the inheritance from the PIP...

Remove conflict between TAU framework and PIBufSS

We should be able to use buffering on one tag that is fed by the connector, in case there are moments when data has to be primed into it using AFSDK.

UFL Timezone Conversion

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).

Enable setting tag attributes in UFL Connector

UFL Connector should have ways to set tag attributes. There should be way to set the default compression and exception settings and also other tag attributes like point and data security.

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...

Make a version of SkipFile() that stops processing the current file immediately

The current SkipFile() function tells the PI Connector for UFL to skip the remaining lines in the file, but the PI Connector for UFL will continue to execute the rest of the code in the "per message" section that the current line triggered. Pleas...

Add the ability to write to a point using an attribute other than tag name

Provide the capabilities of mapping a UFL data point to a PI tag using a PI Point attribute other than the tag name.  For example, we’ll have a data file from another database that uses a different ID than our PI point name. Could we write to...
