Test the PI data connection

After you set PI data connection properties, you can test the connection. Before you test the connection, verify that the PI server is running and online.

To test the PI data connection

1. In the Project Explorer, right-click PiConnection.

   

2. Select Test Connection. A message appears about the result of the test.

   If the test fails, reconfigure the connection properties or ensure the PI server is configured correctly to allow for the connection, and try again.
