ICU startup on high latency networks

On high latency networks, it can take ICU many minutes to start because every interface on the PI Data Archive is checked. Minimize startup time by caching a node's registered interfaces.

Remote PI ICU

Regardless of where interface info are stored (PI Module DB or AF), it would be useful to have a remote client tool allowing administrator users to configure interfaces  like they do with tags and AF objects. Today when you have to change con...

Migrate the PI ICU settings away from the PI Module Database

PI ICU settings are currently the main reason why the PI Module Database continues to live on even the most up-to-date PI systems. Please consider migrating the PI ICU settings from the PI Module Database to the PI Asset Framework or a separate fi...

The connector creates too many tags

Currently, the connector will create 124 or 248 tags per data source, regardless of how many meaningful data points are actually in the data set. This greatly limits the use of the connector to any customer that is not an EA.

Support user-defined data types in the PI Connector for EtherNet/IP

As an advanced user, I would like to be able to specify a user-defined data type for the array sent to the PI Connector for EtherNet/IP.  For example, if I have a 32-bit array composed of one INT and two SINTs, I would like to be able to conf...

Mass create data source list for PI Connector

For the PI Connector for EtherNet IP you can have up to 100 data sources. Typing in all of them is tedious. It would be nice if we could copy/paste information from Excel OR have a structured import/export file to the data source list.

PI Connector for Ethernet IP should retrieve tagnames from the PLC array

The AF Hierarchy that is created by the connector does not take into consideration any of the tagnames within the PLC array, it just creates attributes for them as slot.n where “n” is a number corresponding to the array position. Not only is this ...
