WOLFRAM SYSTEM MODELER

Write

A block for writing data to an item on an OPC server at intervals determined by parameter samplePeriod

Wolfram Language

In[1]:=
SystemModel["OPCClassic.Blocks.SamplerReal.Write"]
Out[1]:=

Information

This block writes data of type Real from the OPC server it is connected to. It inherits the properties of the partial model Sampler, which contains parameters such as samplePeriod and itemName that determine how often and to which OPC item the data should be written.

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

Relevant Parameters

  • samplePeriod: determines how often to sample data from the OPC item
  • startTime: when the block should start to read data
  • itemName: which OPC item to read data from
  • 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: a Real 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
