OSI PI

The OSI PI protocol adapter can connect to PI Server 2010 and later, using the Asset Framework (AF) protocol. This allows OT Connect to support PI without an intervening OPC server. OSI PI protocol adapter requires the PI AF Client to be installed on the OT Connect Process Data server. The AF protocol offers improved security, performance, and reliability. Therefore, it is recommended to use this adapter to connect to the OSI PI servers.

  • LastReading
