The following table describes the outcomes that can be expected when converting Plant SCADA data types to OPC data types during client write requests.

OPC Data Types (From)	BYTE	INT	UINT, BCD	LONG	ULONG, LONG- BCD	REAL	STRING (256 bytes)	DIGITAL
I1	Overflow if out of range	OK	Overflow if out of range	OK	Overflow if out of range	OK	OK	Overflow if out of range
UI1	OK	Overflow if out of range	OK	OK	OK	OK	OK	Overflow if out of range
I2	Overflow if out of range	OK	Overflow if out of range	OK	Overflow if out of range	OK	OK	Overflow if out of range

UI4	Overflow if out of range	Overflow if out of range	Overflow if out of range	Overflow if out of range	OK	OK	OK	Overflow if out of range
R4	Overflow if out of range	Overflow if out of range	Overflow if out of range	Overflow if out of range	Overflow if out of range	OK	OK	Overflow if out of range

BOOL	OK	OK	OK	OK	OK	OK	OK	OK

Note: For write operations that result in an overflow, OPC E_FAIL will be returned and the target SCADA value will not be changed.
