206 Siemens Simatic S7 Driver Online Help
You may be able to prevent overruns by phasing datablocks. Refer to Using Phasing
with Poll Rates for details on phasing datablocks.
You can set the poll rate to zero or to a subsecond value from 0.1 and 0.9. For
example, you could set the poll rate to 0.5. Setting the poll rate to zero or a subsecond
value disables overruns. Entering a zero poll rate also forces the driver to run at its
maximum rate. In general, you should set the poll rate to less than 1, if it is more
important to run the driver at a fast speed than to detect overruns. If you plan to use a
poll rate less than 1, make sure your process hardware supports subsecond values.
Understanding Data Quality
The SI7 driver displays the quality of the data in the selected datablock as part of its
statistics. Data quality can be good, bad, or uncertain. Each quality type can also
have the following additional text (substring) to further explain the quality:
The OPC Foundation defines each quality type and substring. For more information
on the definition of each item, visit the OPC Foundation’s web site at
www.opcfoundation.org.
