| PI Interface for Bailey Infi90 47 Chapter 11. Starting / Stopping the Interface This section describes starting and stopping the interface once it has been installed as a service. Seethe UniInt Interface User Manual to run the interface interactively. Starting Interface as a Service If the interface was installed as service, it can be started from PI ICU, the Services control panel or with the command i90.exe start To start the interface service with PI ICU, use the button on the PI ICU toolbar. A message will inform the user of the status of the interface service. Even if the message indicates that the service has started successfully, double check through the Services control panel applet. Services may terminate immediately after startup fora variety of reasons, and one typical reason is that the service is notable to find the command-line parameters in the associated bat file. Verify that the root name of the bat file and the .exe file are the same, and that the bat file and the .exe file are in the same directory. Further troubleshooting of services might require consulting the pipc.log file, Windows Event Viewer, or other sources of log messages. Seethe section Appendix A Error and Informational Messages for additional information. Stopping Interface Running as a Service If the interface was installed as service, it can be stopped at anytime from PI ICU, the Services control panel or with the command i90.exe stop The service can be removed by i90.exe remove To stop the interface service with PI ICU, use the button on the PI ICU toolbar. PI Interface for Bailey Infi90 49 Chapter 12. Buffering Buffering refers to an interface node’s ability to temporarily store the data that interfaces collect and to forward these data to the appropriate PI Servers. OSIsoft strongly recommends that you enable buffering on your interface nodes. Otherwise, if the interface node stops communicating with the PI Server, you lose the data that your interfaces collect. The PI SDK installation kit installs two buffering applications the PI Buffer Subsystem (PIBufss) and the PI API Buffer Server (Bufserv). PIBufss and Bufserv are mutually exclusive that is, on a particular computer, you can run only one of them at any given time. If you have PI Servers that are part of a PI collective, PIBufss supports n-way buffering. N- way buffering refers to the ability of a buffering application to send the same data to each of the PI Servers in a PI collective. (Bufserv also supports n-way buffering, but OSIsoft recommends that you run PIBufss instead) Download 1.41 Mb. Share with your friends:
