OPC Item Quality
Associated with each OPC item value is an indicator of the quality of that value. This is known as the OPC item quality. The quality of an item is based on point status information from a CIMPLICITY project and the state of communications between the OPC Server and the CIMPLICITY project.
The CIMPLICITY OPC Server supports a subset of quality flags specified in the OPC Foundation Data Access standard. The supported quality statuses and sub-statuses are listed below.
