  • Page 50: Phd Opc Name Forms

    PHD User Guide (pim0201). Supported data types The following table shows the supported data types common to Honeywell, and how the PHD OPC Server maps them into OPC data. The PHD OPC Server supports access of the following data types. In the case where the source attribute is set to BARRAY the OPC Server will return an array of values.

  • Page 51: Array Indexing

    5 Using the PHD OPC Server 5.4 PHD OPC Data Standards for Client Applications Array indexing PHD support for array data types depends on the real-time data interface (collector) being used. Each element of an array type DCS parameter must be configured as a separate PHD Tag.

Each would be configured in PHD to reference the same DCS point.variable, such as GEN1.MODE. The data type stored for the PHD variable would be either Integer or String.

  • Page 53: Interpreting Data Quality

    5 Using the PHD OPC Server 5.4 PHD OPC Data Standards for Client Applications Interpreting data quality The PHD Server represents data quality as a percentage of confidence, with a range of 0 to 100 %. Under most conditions, a data value is always represented by a confidence of 100%, indicating a good value, a confidence of 0, indicating a uncertain value.

  • Page 54: Data Confidence Versus Data Quality

    5 Using the PHD OPC Server 5.4 PHD OPC Data Standards for Client Applications Data confidence versus data quality Applications programs that insert data into PHD, for example, using PHD Manual Input tags, should (but are not guaranteed to) follow these conventions. An application may choose to assign any confidence between -1 and 100 to a PHD data value when it is stored.

  • Page 55: Extrapolated Values

    5 Using the PHD OPC Server 5.4 PHD OPC Data Standards for Client Applications Extrapolated values You can use the PHD OPC Server to return extrapolated values. To use extrapolation, the OPC items specified by the client must refer to PHD tags that are configured appropriately. The PHD Server configuration allows you to use syntax to specify the dynamic use of extrapolation when values are referenced - this syntax is specified in the source tag specification of the tag configuration.
