• Gauges now display on the Attribute List even if the the corresponding item is being trended.

• Data can now be written from the cloud to a device (such as a PLC) on premises. This implements a closed loop system meaning that analytics can be done in the cloud with data from many systems across the supply chain. The results of the analytics can be fed back into a production system.

OPC/UA

• The OPC UA Connector browses for references and saves them in node set files.
• The OPC UA North Service is already capable of sending node set files. So, these reference files are served up to the OPC UA Server.
• The OPC UA Server is enhanced to hydrate the namespace, including references.
• On upgrade, we maintain the same variables with original node ids. The correct parents are set up for all nodes.
• Attributes published through OPC UA Server have more usable browse name of <relative_name>_<id>

• Expressions can now return current values. This makes it possible to use expressions in Process Layouts, the Value Gauge, and for displaying KPIs.
