Simulator Registers

The Server Internal Simulator (browsable under Platform Services) includes registers. These registers work similarly to the preexisting svrsim:out points, except they can use custom names and are not limited to one point per data type. Because they are evaluated by the server, these simulation registers allow the user to share values between clients and are usable on IoTWorX edge devices.

Registers are not configured in advance and are not browsable. Simply use a tag with this format wherever you would use an OPC UA or other tag name:

svrsim:reg datatype identifier

Datatype is the desired data type supported by the simulator and identifier is a custom string used to identify this particular register tag.

Example: svrsim:reg int myRegisterName

Note: Only 64 unique registers are supported. If a project attempts to use more than 64 unique identifiers the registers beyond the 64th will return a bad status code. Registers are counted as points in terms of licensing.
