Enhance the PI-ICU to include a rolling buffer regardless of connection to the PI Data Archive

During a Disaster Recovery test our team discovered that there will be up to 24 hours of data loss since our VM's are cloned once a day and the PI-ICU interfaces don't start caching data until the data archive has been disconnected. Essentially - ...

Allow automatic interface restart based on Device Status

In some cases, such as when using a tunneller, the PI interface for OPC DA requires a restart to resume collecting data. A feature that allows an automatic restart of the service based on the value of the Device status Health tag would avoid human...

OPC DA interface to read data for advise and polled tags at startup

If digital tags are part of advise groups and the flag to write "Intf Shut" is enabled in the OPC DA interface, then digital tags can read "Intf Shut" for hours/days/weeks, if the value does not change after an interface restart (for example, 2 pu...

We would like to have some sort of digital state such as "Intf Shut" written to all OPC tags when both interfaces in a failover pair are shut down. Currently, the /opcstopstat and /stopstat parameters (which write a specified state to all tags wh...
