New function for Ethernet/IP (“scanner”)

Add the function to able to act as (“scanner”). At this moment the connect can only act as an adapter, that means that It can't collect data from other device that also are connector is an adapter. https://www.odva.org/Technology-Standards/EtherNe...

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.

Migration from interface to connector

Would like a way to migrate from interface to connector as easily as possible.

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.

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...

trend log objects (BACnet object type 20) available from the connector

BACnet trendlog object present the opportunity to buffer at the edge where the data is collected and to gracefully recover from comms outages if data collection has been impacted. I would suspect the trendlog object could be handled similarly to ...

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 ...

Make the connector a BACnet Device (get a BTL listing)

Some devices can only send COV notifications to other BACnet devices. Since the Connector is not a device and does not respond to who-is messages (and does not listen on port 47808), the connector is unable to utilize COV subscriptions for these d...
