    File name extensions "_OK" and "BAD" / Deletion of correctly read lines

    We operate a UFL interface that evaluates CSV files with additional analysis data and reads data for existing PI tags, storing the values (including timestamps) in the PI server archives. Our UFL interface is not permitted to create PI tags. I hav...

    Allow renaming of diagnostic tags for batch interfaces

    Batch interfaces should follow a similar approach to UniInt based interfaces to retrieve the diagnostic tags. That is to say they should pull the diagnostic tags based on the PointSource, Location1, and ExDesc, not a hardcoded name based purely on...

    Allow the UFL interface to delete PI tag data or provide some other supported automated method of deleting PI data from a collective.

    There is no way to easily delete data in a time range if you want the changes to occur on both the primary and secondary data archive. It seems the UFL interface would be good to use to do this. You could provide it a tag name and time range and t...

    Support dynamic OPC addresses

    My OPC server's items have the OPC server node name included in the itemID, for example: serverA.AB_1234.PV. I have redundant OPC servers and redundant interfaces (in failover) and would like the tags to refer to the correct OPC address including ...

    Source and destination tag mapping list

    Customer would like the ability to have PItoPI create a list of tags that includes the FULL name of the source tags, as well as the destination tags they are mapped to.  This will greatly assist in managing tags that are being sent to a remot...

    Enable the ability to use the UserInt1 to propagate PI to PI APS source tag name changes to the target if source collective Data Archive-level failover is configured

    UserInt1 attribute contains source point ID. (Illegal configuration if source Data Archive-level failover is configured.) Source tag mapping by point ID is not compatible with Data Archive-level failover.

    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...

    Create event frames from DeltaV Alarms & Events (EMDVB)

    Alarm tags created by EMDVB can be difficult to analyze at scale. Event frames are a natural format for alarms because they have start and end times, durations, and can have different severities. PI client tools allow simple querying of event fram...

    Name support in BACnet Network Discovery Tool

    Can you remove the restriction to use only an IP address in the BACnet Network Discovery Tool?  The interface will correctly load and poll tags to a network device referenced by name instead of IP, however the Discovery Tool has the limitatio...

    Allow modification of "head_end" in piscc.ini to modify naming convention for elements and tags.

    When our EEAMAS Interface was originally implemented, the Head_End parameter was set to "Elster", the vendor name for our meters. So all of our meters from that interface are named Elster_xxx. Elster was purchased by Honeywell, so the name no long...
