If the data provider (e.g. S7 PLC, OPC UA Server) is not available, the MindConnect IoT2040 or
the data provider client will send up a "0" with a quality code. The value of the quality code
shows that this is not a valid data.
If the function "Quality code" is enabled for this data point all the information can be stored in
the database. The database creates a request to Insights Hub Monitor to show the bad
quality code information in a chart.
If the function "Quality code" is disabled, the value 0 will be saved anyway. But you cannot
figure out if this data is valid.
