    We've noticed this particularly with the RDBMS-PI interface when configured for failover: Health tags that are only written to when the interface becomes primary or has completed its first scan (eg Point Count, Scan Class I/O Rate etc.) say 'Intf ...

    Separate commonly used PI Interfaces that do not have a successor into read-only and write-only versions

    Currently, it is recommended to use the read-only version of a PI Interface if only reading is required, and to have separate read and write instances of the read-write version of a PI Interface if writing is required. (Reference: https://docs.osi...

    Allow using SQL as a data source for FactoryTalk Batch

    Rockwell FactoryTalk Batch v12.01 allows to output batch data to a SQL database as well as EVT files. Just like with EMDVB, the PI Interface for FTBatch should be able to use both data sources.

    OPC AE: add history recovery feature

    There is a stronger market demand to have more alarm data in PI so that the alarms can be analysed together with the process data. Existing (as of Oct 2019) PI OPC AE Interface does not support history recovery. Without the history recovery featur...

    A feature that enables generative AI to create PI Analytics calculation formulas based on user prompts.

    This idea came from one of my customers. Although he is not very familiar with PI’s function-based calculation capabilities, he is eager to make use of PI Analytics. He mentioned that it would be great if there were a feature where users could inp...

    PI BACNET interface support BACnet Intrinsic Reporting (BIR)

    Include MSXML with the latest version of the PI Interface for OPC XML-DA

    The Read-Only version of the PI Interface for OPC XML-DA (1.7.3.40) does not contain the msxml4 library necessary for communicating with the OPC XML-DA. The workaround is to install the Read-Write version of the interface and then the Read-Only ve...

    Analysis Preview Results - Remove Table and Graph

    When using the preview analysis function an an analysis with many variables the preview graph and table struggles to keep up, and uses a long time to update. When there are many variables, these are also quite useless. It would therefore be an i...

    Logic for SQC calculations

    I would like the ability to flag an SQC event only if I am in a batch, on a grade run, or in some other process condition. Right now, I am getting an SQC outside control limit when my phase is "inactive." Let there be more configuration of this in...
