C:\program files\pipc\dat\pipc.log
Messages are written to this file at the following times At startup, the Interface writes many informational messages log. These include the version of the Interface, the commandline parameters used, and the version of the PI API found As the Interface retrieves points from the PI Server, it writes messages to the log if there are problems with the configuration of the points.
System Errors and PI Errors
Operating system errors are associated with positive error numbers
Errors related to the PI System are associated with negative error numbers
The user can obtain descriptions of operating system and PI System errors with the
pidiag
program found on the computer running PI Server. This program is located in the
adm
subdirectory of the directory where PI Server is installed. Use
–e
command line parameter followed by the error number. For example,
C:\PI\adm\pidiag e 100
[100] Cannot create another system semaphore.
C:\PI\adm\pidiag e -10401
[-10401] No Write Access - Secure Object

Appendix B Troubleshooting
The interface normally starts as Windows service. It writes informational and error messages to the PIPC.LOG file. So, it is important to look at this file to troubleshoot the interface.
Hardware Configuration
When the user installs the CIU/ICI module, he needs to cut the dipshunt in a specific manner in the termination unit of the CIU. Also, he needs to set the dipswitch of U and U on the CIU module. The dipswitch setting determines the many options on running the CIU. Please refer to the hardware manual of the CIU on how to set the dipswitch and the dipshunt.
The Bailey Engineering WorkStation (EWS) hardware manual provides a recommended dipshunt/dipswitch configuration for the CIU module. OSIsoft suggests that the Infi90 Interface use this same configuration.
The serial cable connecting the interface computer and the CIU/ICI is wired straight through on pins 1- 8 and 20. The best way to test the termination hardware, CIU/ICI module setup, and cable configuration of the CIU is to try using the EWS to substitute for the interface computer. If all hardware settings appear correct and connection problems still exist, try switching pins 2 and 3 in the cable by using a null modem connector.
