OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) and the DeltaV system

DeltaV OPC UA supported data types

The table shows the OPC UA data types supported by DeltaV OPC UA.

Table: Supported OPC UA data types

Supported data type

Notes

Boolean

0=FALSE, 1=TRUE

DeltaV OPC UA treats Boolean data types as Int32 parameters where all values are resolved to either 1 or 0 rather than True or False.

Sbyte

Byte

Int16

Unit16

Int32

UInt32

Float

8-bit signed integer, 16-bit signed integer, and 32-bit signed integer are treated as Int32 data types:

8-bit unsigned integer, 16-bit unsigned integer, 32-bit unsigned integer, and 32-bit unsigned integer with status are treated as UInt32 data types.

64-bit is not supported. This includes Double, Int64, UInt64, and TimeStamp.

Float values follow the IEEE 754-1985 Standard. A Float value can have any numeric data type.

String

DeltaV OPC UA allows the reading of strings. Writing strings is not supported.

EIOC and workstation OPC UA clients support a maximum of 10 string signal inputs (reads) per LDT.
