OPC90 Server
7.25 Remote Control Memory (RCM)
The RCM OPC90 block is used to retrieve and control the exception reported
output from Bailey Remote Control Memory blocks (function code 62).
Restrictions: This OPC90 block can be utilized with all Bailey interface types
except serial port module (SPM & CPM02).

Notes:
1.) OPC90 uses pulse reset and pulse set commands when commanding the state of the
RCM output. When writing a zero to reset the output, a pulse reset command (5) is
actually sent to the RCM block by OPC90. Likewise writing one to set the output, a pulse
set command (6) is sent. Some older style drivers force the client to sent a 5 and 6 to
reset and set the RCM output. For compatibility when converting from such older style
drivers to OPC90, it can be configured to also accept values of 5 and 6 for commanding
the output reset and set. To enable this ability, the RCM.OUT parameter type must be
changed from its default setting of BIT to another multi-bit type such as INT. Right click
on the RCM.OUT attribute and select properties to make this change. Note that OPC90
will always report the value of OUT as 0 or 1 regardless of whether it is written as 0, 1, 5
or 6.
2.) Text strings can be written to this tag to control the RCM output. Valid text strings are the
OUTLSD0 and OUTLSD1 settings along with “0”, “1”, “5”, “6”, “Off”, “On”, “Reset”, “Set”,
“Zero”, “One”, “False” and “True”. Writing any of these strings is case insensitive.
