Parameters

machineName

Name of the machine. Determines the computer on which the OPC server is located. It may be an empty string, in which case the OPC server is assumed to exist on the local computer or at the computer specified for it by DCOM configuration.

The value represents a UNC or DNS computer name. Any string can be passed to this parameter (i.e. will not cause System.ArgumentException), but not all values make sense and will work when an operation using them is attempted. IPv6 addresses are normally enclosed between '[' and ']'.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

serverClass

Contains ProgID of the OPC server to write into.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

itemId

Contains OPC item identifier.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

value

The value to be written.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

timestamp

The timestamp to be written.

quality

The numerical value of the quality to be written.
