I am having a very strange issue using the PI data historian to send data to a Windows application via MODBUS TCP. PI's technical support has been unable to figure out what is happening and I'm hopeful someone here may have an idea.
The issue is that PI is sending data from hours ago. The data it is sending appears to be correct it is just being received late. For instance, there is a temperature value in PI that reads 100 at 10:00 (for the entire hour) and 110 at 11:00 (for the entire hour). The Windows application (MODBUS slave) receives a value of 100 at 11:00 and then 110 at 12:00. The application is getting data an hour later than it should. Note that PI source tags are updating and sending data every 10-15 seconds.
Also note that we are using PI tags configured the same way to send MODBUS data to a SCO UNIX application and we do not see the lag on that system.
I'm reasonably sure that the issue is with PI as I don't seem to have similar issues using MODSCAN. Does anyone have any experience with PI-MODBUS and a data lag? I've pretty much exhausted everything I can think to try.
Thanks.
