Description

The OPC Quality Parts block converts an OPC Data Access quality ID vector into four parts:

• Vendor status

• Major quality

• Quality substatus

• Limit status

The Quality output port of an OPC Read block generates quality IDs. For more information on quality parts, see OPC Quality.

Ports

Input

QID — Quality ID

OPC quality ID integer

OPC quality ID integer, typically connected to the Quality output port of an OPC Read block.

Data Types: uint16

Output

integer 0-255

Quality ID information specific to the vendor.

Data Types: uint16

Major — Major quality value

0 | 1 | 3

Major quality value, indicating bad (0), uncertain (1), or good (3) quality. For more information, see Major Quality.

Each major quality status has an additional substatus that describes the quality of the value in more detail. The interpretation of the substatus value depends on whether its major quality is good, uncertain, or bad. See Quality Substatus.

Limit — Limit status

0 | 1 | 2 | 3
