Application example in Online Support
This application example (
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109762770
provides you with an S7 user block "OpcUaClient" that summarizes the most important
functions of the OPC UA instructions, accelerates the implementation for you and simplifies
the programming. The OPC UA server in the example is an S7-1500 controller with a simple
simulation program for process values.
The S7 user block performs the following:
•
Establishment and termination of the connection to the server
•
Diagnostics of the connection and automatic reconnection after connection terminations
•
Registered Read
•
Registered Write
•
Registered Method Call
