the value of tag doesn't change

Replied by support on topic the value of tag doesn't change
Hello.
What I am suggesting is a an attempt to workaround the problem. It may or it may not work. It is based on what you wrote : "If I keep UAExpert open in variable display the value changes on UAExpert and also on the two other programs.". From that, it seems that simply having the subscription can resolve the problem with the reads.
You are already doing the Read-s. You will not change that code. You will simply add the call to SubscribeDataChange (for the same item) somewhere at the beginning of your program, and keep it subscribed.
Regards

Hy,
As I wrote below we bought OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAClient.
Are there required functions in this library?
How can I read the value of the variable once the subscribing is done without using the sub EasyUADataChangeNotificationEventArgs?

Sandro Balleri.

Hello.
If you are using VB6, you need to make sure the appropriate type library form QuickOPC is imported in project settings. In FoxPro, I do not not know how this is done.
But, it may not be necessary to do, because the part that uses EasyUADataChangeNotificationEventArgs is the event handler for data change notification event. But my suggestion was just to make a subscription, in hope that it will work around the "value does not change" problem. You do not actually need to handle the data change events, nor do you need to set up an event handler for it. So you can simply remove these parts of the sample code.
We do not offer any paid support or consulting.
And, as I explained, the "value does not change" problem should primarily be handled by fixing the server.
Best regards

we can't solve the problem. The visual basic code you indicated does not run.
It gives us an error running because it can't find the type EasyUADataChangeNotificationEventArgs.
Public Sub Client1_DataChangeNotification(ByVal sender As Variant, ByVal eventArgs As EasyUADataChangeNotificationEventArgs)
The OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAClient which we have is right to use this code?
At this point we believe that if it were possible to have your advice online, obviously for a fee, we could arrive at a solution.

Hy,
as I think you have understood by now bob we are experts on the subject and we cannot solve the problem.
The examples you have indicated refer to EasyDA as opposed to what we have used up to now which is EasyOpc.UA.
Is it possible to have an example in VisualFoxpro or Visual Basic of subscribing and reading a single item?
Thanks again for your patience and availability.

Hy ,
Is it possible to have the example done above, in Visual Basic with multiple reading, integrated with the subscribing?

Hello.
If using one client (UAExpert) in this way influences the values that are provided to two other clients, the server is faulty. And you should resolve it with the server vendor.
However, it can be guessed that the reason UAExpert works (and makes other programs work) is because it is using subscriptions, while your program is using repeated Reads (and I do not know what Prosys does).
As a workaround, you can try to set up a subscription from your program too.

Hy,
with the solution explained above we solved the problem on two customers. However, there remains a third who present an even different case.
The variable always remains out of date, with my program and with the Prosys OPCUA program.
If I use UAExpert to view the variable, the value of the variable is correct and at that point I see it correctly also on my program and on Prosys.
If I keep UAExpert open in variable display the value changes on UAExpert and also on the two other programs.
If I close UAExpert the value doesn't change anymore, it remains the one of the last visualization on UAExpert.
Every evening the OPCUA server is shut down and the next morning I see a zero value until I reopen UAExpert.
I attach the UAExpert log.
