Exception | Description |
---|---|
System.ArgumentNullException |
A 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. |
OpcLabs.EasyOpc.OperationModel.OpcException | The OPC "Classic" (or OPC XML-DA) 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. |
The server can be local or can be remotely accessed via DCOM. Optionally, an access path can be specified or a specific data type can be requested.
Use this method if you are only interested in the actual value of the OPC item. Use ReadItem method if you also need the quality or timestamp. The ReadItemValue method makes it very easy to obtain the actual data value with just one function call.
The ReadItemValue method waits until the quality becomes "good", or the timeout elapses.
