Required parameters:

Parameter

Description

/ps=Source

The /ps parameter specifies the point source for the interface. The

Source value is not case sensitive. The length of the Source value is

limited to 100 characters by PI-UniInt. The value can contain any
character except „*‟ and „?‟.
The point source that is assigned with the /ps parameter corresponds
to the Point Source attribute of the individual Historian point. The

interface will attempt to load only those Historian points that have the
appropriate point source.
Strategies for assigning a point source character vary depending on
the interpretation of the /id parameter by a particular interface. See

the /id parameter description for more information.

/id=x

Example: /id=1
The /id parameter specifies the interface identifier.
The interface identifier is a string that is no longer than 9 characters

in length. FTLD Interfaces also use the /id parameter to identify a
particular interface copy number that corresponds to an integer value

that is assigned to one of the Location code point attributes, most
frequently Location1. For these interfaces, you should use only

numeric characters in the identifier.

/host=host:port

The /host parameter specifies the PI Home node. Host is the IP

address of the PI Server node or the domain name of the PI Server
node. Port is the port number for TCP/IP communication.
The port is always 5450.

/uiDLL=FTLDIntCtl.dll
/uiDLL="c:\Program

Files\PIPC\Interfaces\

PIUniint\FTLDIntCtl.dl
l"

The /uiDLL parameter is used to specify the DLL file name of the
FTLD interface. The DLL file is usually installed in the

\Windows\System32\

or

Windows\SysWOW64\

directory. If the DLL

file is located elsewhere, the full path to the DLL must be provided in
the /uiDLL parameter.

/FTDirectory=$Global The /FTDirectory parameter specifies the FactoryTalk directory. It can

only be set to $Global.

/FTContext="/"

This parameter is reserved. Set to “/”.
