AVEVA Adapter for OPC UA

Showing 26

Simplify the security configuration for OPC UA

The newer OPC UA protocols have stricter security standards, which is good, but that makes configuring connections more difficult, especially with regard to the need to put in tunneling and open ports. It should be easier to establish a secure con...

PI Adapter for OPC UA should be able to write outputs to the OPC UA Server

The PI Adapter should be able to create a data pipe listener on certain streams (unsolicited reads) that would trigger the writes back to the OPC UA Server. This is useful when providing set points to the equipment without the need of establishin...

PI Adapter for OPC UA should be able to poll data from the OPC UA Server

Currently the PI Adapter for OPC UA only collects unsolicited advised data that is different from the previous value. We would need to see a polling feature to be able to: - Refresh slow moving streams with updates with the same value but differen...

GUI Front End for UA Adapter

The OPC UA Adapter is a replacement for the OPC UA Connector and should thus provide similar functionality by providing a GUI.

PI Adapter for OPC UA should poll a series of items based on a trigger events

Same as the PI Interface for OPC DA feature with "Trigger Tags", the idea is to poll for updates on a series of item streams (tags) only when a certain item stream updates. The benefit of this is to create timestamp alignments between a series of...

PI Adapter for OPC UA Array Support

As a PI System Administrator, I would like for the PI Adapter for OPC UA to support array data types from the OPC UA Server. A large amount of our data may be contained within arrays on our OPC UA Server, so we would not currently be able to colle...

Please add a feature for the OPC UA adapter to enable the adapter to only store values with a good status or rather filtering out bad values

When receiving bad values from the OPC UA Server to the adapter there is no option to filter out bad values. So these values get stored in the Data Archive and are causing problems with analyses (e.g. expression or Event Frame generation). At the ...

Sampling/Publishing Interval parameters to be part of Data Selection description

When configuring the AVEVA Adapters in general, we would find more convenient to be able to define the ‘Sampling Interval’ and 'Publishing Interval' parameters inside the ‘Data Selection’ configuration per each data stream. For instance, when desc...

PI Adapter for OPC UA should preiodically retry to subscribe to each node for which subscription failed at startup

Currently the PI Adapter for OPC UA tries to subscribe to all the OPC UA nodes configured in the Data Selection configuration at startup. However, when as issue occurs during the subscription to an OPC UA node, that node will not be included in da...

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...
