This block writes data of scalar type Integer to the OPC UA server it is connected to. Unlike the write blocks that have a parameter for setting the sample period, the triggered write blocks write data when Boolean input signal trigger has a rising edge. The block inherits the properties of the partial model TriggeredSampler. Only scalar nodes can be written to; i.e. no array or matrix nodes are supported.

At every sampling instant, external function writeExternalInteger is called from within the block.

Relevant Parameters

• nodeID: which OPC UA node to write data to (ID value should always be inside quotes)
• nodeNamespace: which namespace the node is located in
• nodeIDType: which ID type to use, numeric or string
• uaIntegerType: which OPC UA Integer type to use when writing data
• uMax: if useUMax is true, then uMax is the upper limit for the written data
• uMin: if useUMin is true, then uMin is the lower limit for the written data
• useUMax: if true, respect upper limit uMax
• useUMin: if true, respect lower limit uMin

Interfaces

• u: an Integer input, which is the signal to be sampled and written to the OPC server
• serverID: the connector that connects the block to the OPC server component
• trigger: a Boolean input that determines when the block should sample data from the input signal
