Start the PI interface service

After parameters and PI points are configured for the interface, you can use PI ICU to create and start the interface service.

Before starting, you can change settings for the service using the Service branch in the PI ICU tree:

• Make appropriate changes to the Display Name as desired.

• Set service dependencies using the Add and Remove buttons to move existing services into and out of the Interface Dependencies list.

• Services listed in the Interface Dependencies list are started automatically by the Service Control Manager when the interface is started.

To start or stop the PI interface service:

• Click the Start or Stop button on the PI ICU toolbar.

The current status of a selected PI interface service is indicated in the status bar at the bottom of the PI ICU application.

• Navigate to the Tools > Options > Service page where you can set the rate at which status is updated.
