Allow the PI Point description to not be populated by the adapter

Implement a configuration flag that allows one to NOT synchronize description from OPC UA server into PI Tag. In instances where the description is empty "", the description cannot be set in PI. Similarly, the description on the OPC UA Server sid...

Send only data that has changed.

When transferring data via satellite it is necessary to keep bandwidth usage to a bare minimum. Currently OMF must send all values regardless of whether they have changed or not. If it could send only the data parameters that have changed that wou...

Enable OmfEgress component to be configurable by instance (by component)

In our process we wish to send a different set of data to different PI environments. For instance we would like all data to egress to the PROD environment while only egress a subset of data to the DEV environment, in which we don't need all the da...

Support "Data Handling" options for adapters

The PI Interface for OPC DA can write IO timeout when it cannot get values from the OPC server. It would be useful to have the same option for the adapters so that stale data is marked IO timeout or similar, and automatically invalidates calculati...
