OPC UA Client and Server

#Platzhalter:
Openness, productivity and connectivity –
Unified Architecture

The OPC UA Service is a pure software solution and can be

executed directly on the controller CPU without additional
hardware.
Systems for visualization, data logging or cloud solutions
can use OPC UA as a manufacturer independent interface.
The communcation can be encrypted in accordance with
the latest security standards.
The OPC UA Server offers full and transparent access to
the released controller process data. Values, time stamps
and quality information is updated automatically. The
alarm system is convenient and flexible at the same time,
and automatically monitors variable values. Disturbances
are reported as OPC UA Alarms with selectable acknowl-
edge models. The file system of the control unit can be
reached via OPC UA file transfer. The configuration is car-
ried out in the SolutionCenter, and an API additionally per-

mits the alarm system to be operated from the application.
OPC UA Client & Server Download 00022170-90 The alarm history can be saved for later access by clients.
OPC-UA-Server DA RT 00022170-63 The server is integrated in the security concept of the con-
troller, takes into account user rights to variables and files

and logs write accesses.
OPC-UA-Client DA RT 00028782-63
The OPC UA Client enables the controller software to
OPC-UA-Client/Server DA RT 00028783-63
access the data on external UA servers via Read, Write,
OPC-UA-Client/Server DA AC RT 00035570-63 Subscribe and Method Call operations. Subscribe and Write
can be executed via the configuration, so that the values
are then available automatically in the process image. The
supplied PLCopen compliant client library can also be used.
The interface of the method call sets no limits to the
application. In conjunction with the freely programmable
methods in atvise® scada, any private cloud solution can be
implemented.

Public Key Infrastructure File-based on the controller
Logging Connections and write operations are stored in the security log of the
controller.
Restriction of visible variables The address space can be configured in the SolutionCenter. If the security
settings and access rights to the controller are used, visibility also depends
on the login of the OPC UA client.
