Add failover capability for the BACnet Connector.

Failover similar to the UFO available for UNIint interfaces.  Warm failover would be sufficient, although I'm sure there are some who would like cold and hot as well.

Have more KPIs/diagnostics for PI System Connector

In Data Collection Manager, it would be good to have a status on Currently Synchronized Elements, Events, Tags, structure. Be able to count the events and tags that failed to synchronize since some time. Missing values in tags between source and d...

Ability to monitor which OPC UA Connector is active in a failover pair

As a PI administrator, I need to monitor which OPC UA Connector in a failover pair is currently active. When the primary OPC UA Connector goes down, I need an email notification, and vice versa when the secondary OPC UA Connector goes down.

Switch for using Name of AF Attributes from Browsable Name or Display Name

Add a Switch to the OPC UA Connector that we can choose if we want the AF Attributes to be created using "Browsable Name" or "Display Name". Using the Display Name would make it much easier for us to locate the Attribute and refer to its OPC Tag a...

PI Connector for MQTT - support more generic JSON formats

While the existing support for Sparkplug MQTT format is helpful, this connector would be more useful if it also supported a more generic JSON format.

Add a Boolean data type

Boolean variables are useful for reusing Boolean (sub)expressions, concise debugging of the value of a Boolean expression, and extraction and storage of Boolean values before writing to Int32 PI status tags (e.g. on/off status, open/closed status).

Be able to modify the PI Point prefix from the PI Connector for UFL administration page

It does not make sense that edits to some of the PI Connector for UFL's JSON files can be done through the administration page, but not all. The administration page should be a 1-stop configuration shop.

Allow dynamic parameters in URL

Often third party web API needs input parameters so static URL is not enough. Sometimes parameters are simple, e.g. current data, or can be derived from PI tags; these could be set with placeholder in configuration.

Install and configure more than one PI Connector Relay instance per server

At local industrial sites, we deploy use cases different in nature and end user consumption in separated AF DBs, like OEE, PSM, Autoclave, utilities, etc. We need to centralize these individually into our central PI System. We need to segregate th...

OPC UA 2.x - Health information and connector statistics

In the PI Connector for OPC UA 1.3.x, some very useful statistics are available - Events in DA queue, Data rate, Variables Numbe - but 2.0.x these items are not available anymore. Those items should be available for data selection to be monitored ...
