There is a report available (RCMXDATEST02) to test all MDA stuff. You can read or write OPC tags or send MDA broadcast events.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This simple report allows you to read or write any data points which are available via MDA (Manufacturing Data Access):<\/p>\n

\"Report<\/p>\n

To test an MDA broadcast event you simply select one of the “Data Point” fields in the “Write” section and use the value help (F4):<\/p>\n

\"NewImage\" Please replace the string “&CATEGORY&” with a string that represents your broadcast event (DEMO1 in my example above). To send the broadcast you add a value to the “New Value” field and press “Execute”. Of course you need to have a consumer to show you that the broadcast has been successfully executed. This can be done by a simple XStep:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"XStep\"<\/span><\/p>\n

There is one local parameter on the node “MDA Inbox” with type PPPI_SHORT_TEXT which will be displayed in the single output element (“MDA Value”). The control element (“<Manufacturing Data Access>”) looks like this:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"MDA_Control<\/span><\/p>\n

\"MDA_Control<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note that the string “DEMO1” must be the same as the one in the test report (which replaced “&CATEGORY&”). The parameter name (“MDAVAL”) must be the one you have in the output element – of course.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally you can do the test. Here are 2 screens (one with the test report, one with the test PI Sheet) before the broadcast:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Demo<\/span><\/p>\n

And this is how it looks like after the execution of the report:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Demo<\/span><\/p>\n
