Introduction

This document provides general information on the device commands supported by UOS and the UNICARB_UOS.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 on 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 READ/WRITE 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.
