    Support user-defined data types in the PI Connector for EtherNet/IP

    As an advanced user, I would like to be able to specify a user-defined data type for the array sent to the PI Connector for EtherNet/IP.  For example, if I have a 32-bit array composed of one INT and two SINTs, I would like to be able to conf...

    Mass create data source list for PI Connector

    For the PI Connector for EtherNet IP you can have up to 100 data sources. Typing in all of them is tedious. It would be nice if we could copy/paste information from Excel OR have a structured import/export file to the data source list.

    PI Connector for Ethernet IP should retrieve tagnames from the PLC array

    The AF Hierarchy that is created by the connector does not take into consideration any of the tagnames within the PLC array, it just creates attributes for them as slot.n where “n” is a number corresponding to the array position. Not only is this ...

    Provide a streamlined way to rename streams and push the changes to the endpoint

    The current process forces the user to modify the adapter configuration (DataSource for the prefix, DataSelection for the stream name) and the endpoint (PIDA, OCS). The adapter should support modifying directly the stream name and push those chang...

    API to check Adapter buffer statistics

    We can check buffer statistics with PI Buffer subsystem (pibufss -cfg, qs) and also with PI Connector/Relay, to verify whether Buffer is healthy, events in queue and etc.Adapter does not has any API to check this.

    Stream-level debugging

    As a PI System Administrator, I'd like to be able to trace values being received, and subsequently being sent by the Adapter, similar to PI Interfaces. Having the ability to trace/log timestamps and values for specific streams would greatly help ...

    Allow default settings (eg. disable compression) for tags created by Adapters

    We would like to be able to specify default settings for tags created by the adapters. This would include things such as disabling compression for tags on this adapter (without disabling it as the default for all new tags on the Data Archive). Thi...

    Permit non-protected references

    The secrets references is a very useful addition but they are only permitted for "protected" parameters. It would be useful to also create references for non-protected parameters. Using references for non-protected parameters would help with creat...

    Support string data types for PI Connector for EtherNet/IP

    String data, such as serial numbers, are supported by the EtherNet/IP protocol and are often collected to help understand what was being made by a piece of equipment at any given time.

    Connector provides Timestamps

    The EtherNet/IP protocol does not specify timestamps when data is transmitted, the connector currently assigns the timestamps base on when the data is being processed. This leads to the following issue, if the network/computer/etc gets busy, we w...
