WOLFRAM SYSTEM MODELER
ReadA block for reading data from an item on an OPC server at intervals determined by parameter samplePeriod |

SystemModel["OPCUA.Blocks.SamplerBoolean.Read"]
Out[1]:=
Information
This block reads data of scalar type Boolean from the OPC UA server it is connected to. It inherits the properties of the partial model Sampler, which contains parameters such as samplePeriod, nodeID, nodeNamespace, and nodeIDType that determine how often and from which OPC node the data should be read; Only scalar nodes can be read; i.e. no array or matrix nodes are supported.
At every sampling instant, external function readExternalBoolean 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
- nodeID: which OPC UA node to read data from (ID value should always be inside quotes)
- nodeNamespace: which namespace the node is located in
- nodeIDType: which ID type to use, numeric or string
Interfaces
- y: a Boolean output, which is the sampled signal
- serverID: the connector that connects the block to the OPC server component
