14. OPC Server Operation of OPC Server WA 6 Operation of OPC Server 6 1 Read and write The AsyncRead and AsyncWrite parameters allows to choose an synchronous or asynchronous execution of the read write operations The choice is mainly driven by the client application In order to limit the number of transactions on the communication bus the OPC server is grouping the read and write requests and generates combined transactions The col lecting time is specified in the ReadDelay and WriteDelay parameters in the configura tion file Normally the server is doing a synchronous read transaction on the automation station on each reading of an item Nevertheless because a number of client applications are doing a periodical polling that could possibly interfere with the internal refreshing proc ess the IgnoreRead parameter allows if set to 1 to ignore all reading requests The update will happen with spontaneous sending of values to the client application The ReadMaskDelay parameter specifies the time during which all values returned by the refreshing process are ignored after a writing operation this prevents updating the client application with inconsistent data The default value of 3 seconds should apply in most cases If a fluctuation is detected on writing processes this value has possibly to be increased The ContractTimeout parameter specifies the maximum wait time when executing a request on the bus It can be in
