PI Interfaces

Reference a local .csv file with mappings (TagName-InstrumentTag) to shorten start-up times.

The .csv file with TagName-InstrumentTag mappings will allow start the interface without specifying the PointSource, which will potentially shorten the start-up times against systems with larg point count. Once the interface is running it will upd...

Create a clearer, shorter INI file syntax

Most of the problems appear in the FIELD, MSG, and message sections of the INI file. Note the difference in clarity, readability, and length between the current and proposed syntaxes below. Current syntax: [FIELD] FIELD(1).NAME="Tag" FIELD(1).T...

Currently UFL only supports two independent instances for redundancy purposes.

and operator

Add a function that can be used in the UFL Configuration File to perform bitwise operations. For example, a function similar to the AND operator in Performance Equations and Asset Analytics.

Please allow to use a hex value as a delimiter, which will allow to specify a Carriage Return (0x0D) as a delimiter

While PI Connector for UFL supports FOREACH (CsvGetItem(__Message, char(13))) to allow using a Carriage Return as a delimiter, it does not support Serial input. This leaves PI Interface for UFL the only option to work with Serial input. Please al...

Support redundancy with OPC event tags

Currently, with OPC event tags, if the connection between the interface and PI Data Archive is broken and signups lost, the event tags will stop polling the OPC server for data. I would like to see a level of redundancy added whereby if the OPC-PI...

debug an arbitrary number of tags belonging to a PI OPC interface instance

It is currently possible to debug one tag, or all tags. Logging timestamp and data for all tags is expensive and make logs harder to read, so one one would like to select an arbitrary number of tags.

PI Interface for OPC DA retry writing data when it receives a CONNECT_E_ADVISELIMIT error.

I would like the ability for the PI Interface for OPC DA to retry writing data when it receives a CONNECT_E_ADVISELIMIT error. Certain OPC servers return a CONNECT_E_ADVISELIMIT error when write requests are received in quick succession, and havin...

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 ...

AMI Interface: allow meter data to be writable to PI Point attributes

Synced to PI Square at https://pisquare.osisoft.com/ideas/29455 Currently, meter data can only be written to static attributes. Historizing the meter data may be useful if there are expected changes that should be monitored.
