Information

This example demonstrates how to achieve irregular sampling from an OPC UA server using a triggered sampling block.

This example requiers an OPC UA example server running on localhost. Read about how to start the example server here.

A triggered sampling block for reading data of type Real is used to sample data from a table at irregular time intervals. Each time the output from booleanTable is true, data is read from opcServer. The sampled signal is then passed through a lowpass Butterworth filter and used as a reference signal to control the height of the liquid in tank.

Plots of the sampled signal read from node 51031 on opcServer, the written values from the table, and the output from booleanTable. Note how data has been sampled each time the Boolean output trigger is true.
