AVEVA Adapter for OPC UA

Showing 20

Detect and monitor which OPC UA server the PI Adapter is connected to

When configuring a PI Adapter to leverage server-level redundancy, it is not currently possible to monitor which server instance the PI Adapter is connected to. Surfacing this information would allow server administrators to better monitor the hea...

PI Adapter for OPC UA should be able to capture alarm and events (A&E)

OPC UA Servers now implement A&E, especially in the Life Sciences industry. We need to be able to capture these into PI tags using the PI Adapter for OPC UA technology.

PI Adapter for OPC UA should be able to poll data from the OPC UA Server

Currently the PI Adapter for OPC UA only collects unsolicited advised data that is different from the previous value. We would need to see a polling feature to be able to: - Refresh slow moving streams with updates with the same value but differe...

PI Adapter for OPC UA should poll a series of items based on a trigger events

Same as the PI Interface for OPC DA feature with "Trigger Tags", the idea is to poll for updates on a series of item streams (tags) only when a certain item stream updates. The benefit of this is to create timestamp alignments between a series of...

PI Adapter for OPC UA should be able to write outputs to the OPC UA Server

The PI Adapter should be able to create a data pipe listener on certain streams (unsolicited reads) that would trigger the writes back to the OPC UA Server. This is useful when providing set points to the equipment without the need of establishin...

PI Adapter for OPC UA Array Support

As a PI System Administrator, I would like for the PI Adapter for OPC UA to support array data types from the OPC UA Server. A large amount of our data may be contained within arrays on our OPC UA Server, so we would not currently be able to colle...

PI Adapter for OPC UA data conversion

As a PI System Administrator, I would like to be able to apply conversion factors to the data that is being gathered from our OPC UA server. This would allow us to get data in the format/units we'd like, without requiring extra tags and/or calcula...

Specific debug log levels to troubleshoot specific issues

Similar to PI Interfaces (/DB for opcint), adapters should allow setting some additional debugging to troubleshoot specific issues, instead of only allowing a general LogLevel (Information, Trace, Warning, etc.) This would allow for more granular ...

Allow the PI Point description to not be populated by the adapter

Implement a configuration flag that allows one to NOT synchronize description from OPC UA server into PI Tag. In instances where the description is empty "", the description cannot be set in PI. Similarly, the description on the OPC UA Server sid...

Support OPC UA ReverseConnect

Support ReverseConnect, allowing for the connection to be establish from the more secure area where the OPC Server reside to the least secure area where the OPC Client / Adapter resides. This is implemented in many other client tools and SDK su...
