Programming via the OPC UA interface
9.2 OPC UA variables
Diagnostics - Presence

Access
Description
Possible values
Diagnostics - LastAccess
These variables supply various information on the last successful transponder access or
command.
Please note that these variables supply logically related information. With successful
transponder access, the contents of the "Time stamp" will be written last; all other supported
"LastAccess" variables are filled first. These variables can thus serve as a trigger for an OPC
UA client in order to query the other variable values.
If it is not possible to determine in time that variables can be queried completely by the client
before the next transponder access takes place and variables are written with new values
again from the process, usage is not possible. If this is not possible, use the
"AutoIdLastAccessEvent" events, which are also supported by the RF18xC communications
modules.
