Add a Trace Route feature to PI Ping interface

Add ping -i feature to the interface and allow for either the output of the ping time or destination in the PI tag. Case: This will allow for IT to monitor the network path taken in communication from one site to another. If the route has change...

PI Interface for OPC DA bitmask plugin with float data type

PI Interface for OPC DA has a plugin called "Bitmask" to extract specific bits from regular OPC values that are of type Int (i.e VT_I2 / VT_I4 / VT_UI2) but other data types such as floats are not supported. It would be good to have Float data typ...

Have the FTB Interface support multiple stop events for Unit Procedures

There are instances where a batch must be manipulated creating two Unit Released events in the event file. The desired behavior for the PI FactoryTalk Batch Interface would be for the second end time to overwrite the first end time when data is be...

Have the FTB interface not truncate the trailing "-#" index (e.g. UnitProcedureName-1) at the end of a Unit Procedure

Some FactoryTalk batch processes have overlapping Unit Procedures with trailing indexes. Because the trailing index is truncated it results in overlapping Unit Procedures with the same name which are then merged. The desired behavior would be for ...

Have the FTB interface capture "Active Step Change Commencing" events as event frames

Some FactoryTalk batch processes require "Active Step Change Commencing" event to be part of the batch hierarchy however the PI Interface for Factory Talk Batch starts event frames only on [EVENT] = "System Message" or "State Change".

Reduce number of "Failure to Resolve 1 PI Point referenced by AF" errors logged in the event viewer

If there are multiple PI Points that cannot be resolved, these messages can quickly fill up the logs. Since event viewer only keeps so many messages by default, this can quickly overwrite other messages and result in a loss of information for trou...

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...

Add TCP option to PI UFL Interface

Currently the only two options are file reading or a serial interface. But what if you have ASCII data streaming from a TCP/telnet source? The configuration would be almost the same as serial - for the connection, rather than a serial port, just n...

Launch history recovery data transfers in steps

When we want to backfill all data from a PI Server into CONNECT Data Services, this could be long and painful. A single data transfer to perform such for a few years may take weeks. It would be good to have the ability to specify an "endtime" alon...

PI UFL ._OK file rename should be after parsing to avoid data loss during shutdowns

My understanding of UFL (confirmed by tech support) is that it will rename files to ._OK extension before loading lines into memory. This means that if the service is stopped (such as during an update) and it has not completely read into memory an...
