Learn about installation and configuration of the PI UFL interface

Installation and configuration of the PI UFL interface includes installing the interface software, and configuring the startup, security, and parsing and extracting logic.

32-bit and 64-bit Interface versions

The PI UFL interface is available as both 32-bit and 64-bit installations. Installation files are located in the %PIHOME% directory for 32-bit installations and the %PIHOME64% directory for 64-bit installations. If you want to copy configuration settings from a 32-bit installation when configuring the 64-bit installation, the following items must be configured to point to the new installation directory:

• The new instance of an NT service

• The cf parameter in the .bat file

• Optional settings in the .ini file for IFM, MSGINERROR, and OUTPUT

PI UFL interface 64-bit installations can use either 32-bit or 64-bit buffering. Optionally, you can unregister or uninstall the 32-bit installation. The extraction and parsing logic in the .ini file remains unchanged.
