42 Wonderware Siemens SIMATIC NET S7 I/O Server
Predefined Item/Point Names
All S7 topics have predefined item/point names to monitor and control communication
properties.
UPDATEINTERVAL Item
The UPDATEINTERVAL item is used to access the currently set update interval. It is
the same value displayed in the monitor window of the S7 server. It indicates the
currently requested update interval in milliseconds. If the corresponding topic is
configured for "Enable I/O access to update interval", a client can poke new values into
this item. In any case the value can always be read through I/O. The range of valid
values differs with respect to the topic settings. The value of zero indicates that no items
on that topic are updated.
I/O Type: INTEGER
ACCESS: READ/WRITE (if configured)
RANGE: 1.. 2147483647
0 (topic inactive, no items are updated)
Note By poking a value of zero into the update interval item a client can conveniently
stop all update activities on the corresponding topic without having to deactivate the
items.
MAXINTERVAL Item
The MAXINTERVAL item is used to access the measured maximum update interval in
milliseconds of all items of the corresponding topic for the last completed poll cycle. It
is the same value displayed in the monitor window of the S7 server under "Longest
Interval". This item is read only. The value of the slowest item is displayed.
I/O Type: INTEGER
ACCESS: READ
RANGE: 0..2147483647
Note Use the UPDATEINTERVAL and MAXINTERVAL items to conveniently tune
the performance of the communication via I/O.
