Thank you. This is very helpful. It means that the original hypothesis (with type library mismatch) was incorrect.

Can you please obtain and tell me the values of DataType and ValueRank attributes of the node you are trying to write to? Either by writing a program for that, or simply by looking at the node with UaExpert. (in that case, please send a whole screenshot of UaExpert with that node, it may give me even more useful info).

Best regards

I have done some further tests and I can write fine with my program and the UADocExamples to your test server.

The problem occurs when I try to write to my server (A Siemens PLC).

The only difference is that to connect to my server I need the lines:

OPCClientConfig := TEasyUAClientConfiguration.Create(nil);
OPCClientConfig.AdaptableParameters.SessionParameters.EndpointSelectionPolicy.AllowedMessageSecurityModes := UAMessageSecurityModes_SecurityNone;
OPCClientConfig.AdaptableParameters.SessionParameters.UserIdentity.UserNameTokenInfo.UserName := '******';
OPCClientConfig.AdaptableParameters.SessionParameters.UserIdentity.UserNameTokenInfo.Password := '******';

Then I can connect and read values fine but get this error on writing.

If I use the same settings in UaExpert to connect to the PLC I can write fine.

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it here.

I installed the current QuickOPC version (2017.2) on a new, otherwise empty computer with Delphi. There is a project with Delphi examples, and it contains the Write examples that are equivalent to your - and it ran well out of the box (it is in the UADocExamples part).

So at this moment I do not know how to help you further.

Can you try the examples that we deliver with QuickOPC, to see whether they work or not?

Regards

This was the way I installed it the first time but to be sure I removed the previous package from Delphi and deleted it then created and installed the new one and still get the same error.

Also just tested and I get the same error using Write and WriteMultipleValues.

This almost looks like that another method is actually being called, because a cast to Object[] is attempted, but WriteValue does not expect arrays as input arguments. It could be caused by the Delphi units being out of sync with the actual COM objects.

Have you done the import of type libraries as described here: opclabs.doc-that.com/files/onlinedocs/QuickOpc/Latest/User%2...20Libraries%20to%20Delphi.html , with the actual version you are using? If not, please do so, rebuild your project, and retest.

Best regards

WriteValue with Delphi was created by alex2027
I'm trying to write a string value with WriteValue in delphi, I have tried:

OPCClient := TEasyUAClient.Create(nil);
OPCClient.WriteValue('opc.tcp://127.0.0.1:4840', 'ns=2;s=/NC/_N_NC_GD1_ACX/_TEST', '12345');

But I get the message "Invalid cast from 'System.String' to 'System.Object[]'"

I have also tried the same to a Decimal value and get an Invalid cast from System.Decimal to
System.Object when trying this.

ReadValue works ok in this way but the WriteValue isn't.

Alex.
