I can write to an OPC server but not read

Thank you for update.

I am somewhat lost here. Usually, when there is "Access denied", it is a permanent thing. In such case, if nothing else helps, I would recommend experimenting with difference security settings in QuickOPC, as described here: www.opclabs.com/forum/connections-reconnections-com-dcom/124...ng-to-remote-machines-via-code .

But, if you only get the error sometimes (please confirm), I am not sure if that makes sense.
Can you - very roughly - tell how often you get the error? 1 out of 5, 1 out of 100, 1 out of 1000 reads, ... ?

Isn't there any observable pattern? And specifically, does it happen with the first read after the app start,s and/or after some period of longer inactivity?

Regards

Hi,

I tried with the following code and got the same results as before (Access id denied)
EasyDAClient.SharedParameters.Topic.SlowdownWeight = 0.0f;
EasyDAClient.SharedParameters.Topic.SpeedupWeight = 0.0f;
this.daClient.InstanceParameters.UpdateRates.ReadAutomatic = Timeout.Infinite;
this.daClient.InstanceParameters.UpdateRates.WriteAutomatic = Timeout.Infinite;

My project is using OpcLabs.BaseLib version 5.35.1115.1
I mentioned in a previous post that I did try running the demo application with the newest version of OpcLabs and the results were the same.

Also, I tried the new code snippet with Async enabled and disabled. The results were the same both times.

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you.

Can you please put a code similar to the following at the beginning of your program?
EasyDAClient.SharedParameters.TopicParameters.SlowdownWeight = 0.0f;
EasyDAClient.SharedParameters.TopicParameters.SpeedupWeight = 0.0f;
var target = new EasyDAClient();
target.InstanceParameters.UpdateRates.ReadAutomatic = Timeout.Infinite;
target.InstanceParameters.UpdateRates.WriteAutomatic = Timeout.Infinite;

Thank you.

Is "Access is denied" the precise/full exception message?

Also, if you can, please provide more info about that exception - specifically, what is in the .HResult and .Source properties of the Exception object.

Best regards

Oh sorry, I misunderstood your question.

I've went and tested my before/after applications again and I do see a difference now.

Before, when I would perform a write operation, where the original value is different than the value being written, I would get an ~30s delay and the following error:
"Write not completed. This error indicates that it could not be verified that the requested write operation was completed during the timeout period. It is possible that the write operation will actually succeed or fail, but later. Increase the timeout period if you want to obtain positive or negative indication of the operation outcome. Other reason for this error may be that under heavy loads, topic request or response queue is overflowing. Check the event log for queue overflow errors (if event logging is supported by the product and enabled)."

After adding the additional statement, running the write operation yields an immediate "Access is denied" error. There is no 30s delay as before.

I understand that you are getting "Access is denied".
I asked you whether you are still getting the ""Read not completed.../Write not completed..." errors.

Hi,
No, I'm saying that the errors are still there. Adding the additional statement did not rectify the issue - I'm still getting the "Access is denied" error.
As I mentioned a couple of times, I'm able to read successfully using Matrikon, Kepware and h-opc clients.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello,
thank you for update.

In your original report, you had either "Access is denied", or "Read not completed.../Write not completed..." errors.

Are you saying that now with the additional statement, the "Read not completed.../Write not completed..." errors are gone?

Best regards

Hi,

I tried running my application after adding the following LOC:
daClient.InstanceParameters.Mode.AllowAsynchronousMethod = False

The results remained the same. I still have an Access is Denied error. Like I mentioned earlier, I was able to get the read operation to work successfully on several other OPC clients, even using async reads.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Mike
