| Comment: |
USN is comprised of the Universal OPC
Server (UOS) for Serial and TCP/IP Devices and the SIXNET_UOS.PRO
device profile. The USN mnemonic is used to identify this unique combination. UOS will
also support many other serial or TCP/IP device profiles. Please refer to our web site for
the current list. |
|
UOS is a stand-alone OPC Server that can be used with any OPC
compliant Client such as Intellution’s FIX® or FIX Dynamics® or
OA’s Enterprise Automation software. UOS has many advanced features like: DataView,
DataScope, Serial and TCP/IP communications support, and multiple "different"
device support. Please refer to our web site for more information on UOS capabilities. |

Introduction
|
| This document provides general information on the device commands supported by UOS and
the SIXNET_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. |
