Convert Array Tags to a String
Do you have a solution for converting Array Tags, like a Word Array, to a String?
We most often get this question from our TOP Server users. This can be achieved using Cogent DataHub with a simple script. The script processes the Array tag, converts it into a String format, and then writes the result back to a designated String tag.
There are two primary ways to utilize this approach:
-
Direct Mapping in OPC Server – The converted String value can be written to an existing tag in the server, making it accessible to your client applications.
-
UA Client Driver in TOP Server – If the String tag does not already exist and you are utilizing TOP Server, you can use TOP Server’s UA Client Driver to request the converted String value from DataHub
