BAND
 
Some OPC servers support dead-band for updates from analog data sources. The dead-band 
value is a percentage of full-scale deflection and so the high and low limits for the item must be 
known ahead of time. Dead-band only affects updates between an OPC client and a server. It has 
no effect on communication between an OPC server and its respective device(s).

Matrikon OPC Explorer allows the user to write control values to items in an OPC group. Select 
the desired items in the list view and choose “Write Values” from the Item menu. In the dialog 
box, enter the control values to be written in the “New Value” column. Specify the data types of 
for the control values in the “Data Type” column. Use the checkboxes to avoid writing to 
individual items. When ready, click the OK or Apply button to perform the write. 
Control values may be written to items regardless of whether they or the group that they 
are in are active or inactive.  If the items and the group containing the items are both 
active then the written control value should appear when the next update occurs.  Also, 
some OPC servers may contain read-only item.  Values written to these items will be 
discarded. 
Matrikon OPC Explorer also contains a Signal Generator to write ramp ing control values to OPC 
items. Choose the “Signal Generator” tab in the “Write Values” dialog box. Enter the high and 
low limits and the increment factor for the ramp wave. Finally, enter the time period in 
milliseconds and press Start. Press Stop or close the dialog box to finish writing the ramp wave.
