    Operating mode

    The current process image is written during startup or when the connection is interrupted, i.e. the current values of all configured data points are sent to the database.

    After the initialization of the process image, only data point changes are written. Optionally, data point changes can be buffered if the connection is lost.

    All data point entries have the following attributes:

    • Timestamp
    • Value
    • Quality
    • Data point type
    • Data point designation
    • Transmission direction
    • Module or protocol stack
