OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AlarmsAndConditions Namespace > IEasyUAAlarmsAndConditionsClient Interface : TimedShelve Method
Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server.
Node descriptor. Identifies the node in OPC server's address space.
Specifies a fixed time for which the Alarm is to be shelved. The Server may refuse the provided duration. If a MaxTimeShelved Property exist on the Alarm than the Shelving time shall be less than or equal to the value of this Property.
The TimedShelve Method sets the AlarmCondition to the TimedShelved state.
Syntax
'Usage
 
Dim instance As IEasyUAAlarmsAndConditionsClient
Dim endpointDescriptor As UAEndpointDescriptor
Dim objectOrConditionNodeDescriptor As UANodeDescriptor
Dim millisecondsShelvingTime As Double
 
instance.TimedShelve(endpointDescriptor, objectOrConditionNodeDescriptor, millisecondsShelvingTime)

Parameters

endpointDescriptor
Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server.
objectOrConditionNodeDescriptor
Node descriptor. Identifies the node in OPC server's address space.
millisecondsShelvingTime
Specifies a fixed time for which the Alarm is to be shelved. The Server may refuse the provided duration. If a MaxTimeShelved Property exist on the Alarm than the Shelving time shall be less than or equal to the value of this Property.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

The OPC UA operation has failed. This operation exception in uniformly used to allow common handling of various kinds of errors. The System.Exception.InnerException always contains information about the actual error cause.

This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately.

Remarks
Normally, the MethodId found in the Shelving child of the Condition instance and the NodeId of the Shelving object as the ObjectId are passed to the Call Service. However, some Servers do not expose Condition instances in the AddressSpace. Therefore all Servers shall also allow Clients to call the TimedShelve Method by specifying ConditionId as the ObjectId. The Method cannot be called with an ObjectId of the ShelvedStateMachineType Node.
