Manage interface names with service ID

As a PI system administrator, I would like to use the service ID to define the interface name so that I can organize and manage my interfaces more efficiently. I am currently able to do this with PItoPI but not UFL x64. Ideally, I would like to d...

Parameter for restarting the interface if no connection to the OPC server can be established after a defined period of time

We use the Phoenix Contact Firewall with the OPC Inspector. When the OPC server restarts or breaks the connection for a few seconds, the firewall blocks all ports except port 135. After initial connection through this port, new firewall rules are ...

Add a configuration option to the OPC DA Interface so that the user can adjust the maximum advise tag exception delay for Event/Trigger tags

This affect to delay in Event\Trigger points. KCS: Delay in Event Points. When using Event Points, we purposefully do have a delay (if excMax is > 2 s then 2 s else 0.9*excMax) for advise tags (Trigger Point) before they're sent to the PI Se...

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-1,00...

UniInt should include a test mode for all interfaces that collects data but does not send it to PI.

This functionality would allow users to test the connection to the data source and inspect the data that is retrieved without sending it to PI. That data might be written to a text file, for example. This would allow users to verify settings and ...

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 in all...

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...
