Overview

DataXchange can monitor the current connection time and return the value to the RTV. Information on expressions using these variables can be found here.

Connection Time Monitoring

There is a ‘connect time’ variable for each source polled by DataXchange. Here is a list of all of the connect time variables.

Focas.connect_timeThe connect time for the current Focas poll
Focas.prev_connect_timeThe previous connect time
Focas.connected_timeReturns the amount of time in seconds since a successful connection to the source
Focas.prev_connected_timeThe previous connected time
MTC.connect_timeThe connect time for the current MTConnect poll
MTC.prev_connect_timeThe previous connect time
MTC.connected_timeReturns the amount of time in seconds since a successful connection to the source
MTC.prev_connected_timeThe previous connected time
SRC.connect_timeThe connect time for the current SRC poll
SRC.prev_connect_timeThe previous connect time
SRC.connected_timeReturns the amount of time in seconds since a successful connection to the source
SRC.prev_connected_timeThe previous connected time

There are also variables related to database Connectivity Status.

PCSDB ConnectivityReturns the state of the connection (True or False)
PCSDB Connectivity_statusReturns the most recent connectivity status as a numerical value 0-5.

All of these variables are licensed at the Bronze level.

The list of numerical values and which connection states they map to can be found here.

Upon a successful connection to associated Source the current time is written to the connect time variable.
