6.7.15 RemoteCommand Method

This Method is used to issue a command to the UA Server that can then be passed on to any other internal system as illustrated in Figure 19 or it can be used to pass information on to an upstream or downstream system as illustrated in Figure 20. In both cases, it is up to the UA Server and/or the underlying system to determine when the command is passed on.

Result Code Description
Bad_MethodInvalidSee OPC 10000-4 – Services for the description of this result code. (The Method id does not refer to a Method for the specified Object.)
Bad_NotImplementedSee OPC 10000-4 – Services for the description of this result code. (Requested operation is not implemented.)
Bad_NodeIdUnknownSee OPC 10000-4 – Services for the description of this result code. (Used to indicate that the specified Object is not valid)
Bad_InvalidStateSee OPC 10000-4 – Services for the description of this result code. (The operation cannot be completed because the Object is closed, uninitialized or in some other invalid state.)
