Allow AVEVA Adapter for Modbus TCP to collect data on INT64 and UINT64 registers

Certain equipment is providing energy data under INT64 or UNIT64 register types. However, the Adapter currently only supports FLOAT64, which is not compatible. We want to be able to configure the Adapter for Modbus TCP to collect data on INT64 and...

OPC UA Adapter Create Tag on Discovery

For the OPC UA Adapter, we are noticing that a tag won't be created until a data point comes in after the tag is added to the data filter. That causes issues for slow updating tags. For instance an open/shut valve that is rarely operated. We have ...

Add parameter "Max Monitored Items per Subscription"

The connector for OPC UA includes a parameter “Max Monitored Items per Subscription”, which is very helpful in managing UA servers which may have limits on the maximum items per subscription. This parameter needs to also be available in the adapters.

Classic Mode for Adapters

One of the big issues we have with adapters (outside of the lack of write capability) is not having the same control over creating and editing tags that we have with PI interfaces. As we talked about the adapter automatically creates PI tags or us...

Automate dataset selection for each PI to CONNECT Agent

We would end up with more than 60+ PI to CONNECT Agents to configure. We have a strong AF hierarchy across our sites and could perfectly prepare a unique AF rootpath to select the relevant dataset to push from PI/AF to CONNECT for each 60+ connect...
