SubscribeDataChange(IEasyUAClient,UAEndpointDescriptor,UANodeDescriptor,Int32,UADataChangeFilter,Object) Method

Subscribe to a data change. Specify an endpoint descriptor, node id, sampling interval, data change filter (e.g. an absolute deadband) value, and a state object.

)

Parameters

client: The client object that will perform the operation.
endpointDescriptor: Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server.
nodeDescriptor: Node descriptor. Identifies the node in OPC server's address space.
samplingInterval: The sampling interval (in milliseconds) indicates the fastest rate at which the Server should sample its underlying source for data changes.
dataChangeFilter: The data change filter.
state: User-defined state object.

Return Value

The method returns an integer handle that uniquely identifies the monitored item subscription.

Exceptions

Exception Description

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	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.
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The value of an argument is outside the allowable range of values as defined by the invoked method. 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.

System.ArgumentNullException

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.

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The value of an argument is outside the allowable range of values as defined by the invoked method.

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.

Remarks

You can obtain nodeDescriptor e.g. by calling one of the browsing methods on EasyUAClientCore object.

For filtering with an absolute deadband, you can use an implicit conversion from System.Double to UADataChangeFilter for the dataChangeFilter argument.

This method operates (at least in part) asynchronously, with respect to the caller. The actual execution of the operation may be delayed, and the outcome of the operation (if any) is provided to the calling code using an event notification, callback, or other means explained in the text. In a properly written program, this method does not throw any exceptions. You should therefore not put try/catch statements or similar constructs around calls to this method. The only exceptions thrown by this method are for usage errors, i.e. when your code violates the usage contract of the method, such as passing in invalid arguments or calling the method when the state of the object does not allow it. Any operation-related errors (i.e. errors that depend on external conditions that your code cannot reliably check) are indicated by the means the operation returns its outcome (if any), which is described in the text. For more information, see Do not catch any exceptions with asynchronous or multiple-operation methods.
