Introduction
This document provides general information on the device commands supported by UOS and the Symbol_LS4071.PRO profile. If you have installed UOS, you should also review the sections titled About the I/O Driver, How Do I…, Setting up The I/O Driver, and Using the PowerTool in the UOS electronic documentation. To get there, click on Help and Help Topics in the PowerTool menu bar. The PowerTool is a client application with a graphical user interface that accesses the UOS OPC Server and lets you view and modify communications channel, device, and datablock properties.
 
Device Commands Supported
The device commands supported are shown in Table 1. They are described in reference to the profile command group that contains them. A "profile command group" is a group of related commands. Usually it consists of an I/O Device READ/WRITE command pair. However the command group can contain only a device READ command, only a device WRITE command, or more than one device READ/WRITE pair. This depends on the protocol of the I/O Device to which the command is directed.
