PI Interfaces

Add a configuration option to UniInt so that the user can adjust the minimum wait time for checking for new events from the Update Manager

This affects the delay in Event\Trigger tags. KCS: Delay in Event Points. The largest and most variable delay seems to come from the time the event is written to the PI Server and the time the interface (UniInt) picks, which is between 0ms-1,000m...

UNIINT Interfaces and Connectors should be able to retry an output event if output write fails

When an interface fails writing to a DCS system, the interface writes a failure status to the output tag and goes on.  User has requested an option to have an output tag retry after write failure. It would be good to have this functionality i...

Ability to wait successful connection to PI Data Archive and download PI point information during startup

(Posted on behalf of our customer) It can reduce the chance of startup failure because of the connection to PI Data Archive time-out. It's also helpful if interface can reduce time to get PI point information from PI Data Archive.

Allowing output point with source tag to keep working even after switching to secondary server

When primary server is down, secondary server is accessed instead of primary server, which is good. However, in the case of output point with source tag, it stops working, then restarting the interface instance of interest is needed. Of course, if...

Retire 32-bit versions of PI Interfaces that have a 64-bit version

These days, 32-bit operating systems are used for 1 of 2 reasons: Somebody accidentally installed the 32-bit version instead of the 64-bit version, which is a mistake that OSIsoft has no obligation to accommodate. The computer is very old, in whic...

Migrate the PI Universal Interface (UniInt) Framework to use PI AF SDK

Most PI Interfaces are based on the PI Universal Interface (UniInt) Framework and rely on PI API and its successor, PI SDK. PI SDK has, in turn, been superseded by PI AF SDK. PI SDK also relies on the deprecated and insecure ActiveX technology, wh...

DNP3: handle invalid timestamps from the RTU

If the RTU provides a timestamp of 0 when using RTU provided timestamps, which does not conform to the DNP3 spec, allow the option to timestamp the event with PI time or drop the event altogether. Note: This was previously Enhancement 123208.

When Citect Interface loses connection to a device, throttle errors relating to failed tag reads

OSI PI Citect Interface The interface will log an entry to the message log for every tag that it can't source data for. This is fine for a small number of tags that have not been able to read data from Citect. However, when a Citect Unit (eg PLC)...

PI PerfMon tags to support Timestamp DataType

There are some performance counters that are Date and Time based. PI PerfMon tags have to be configured as Float32 or Int32 and at PI AF it has to be converted by using PI Analysis or Formulas. Would be easier to configure, maintenance and to bu...
