Without filtering the complete available address space of a S7-1200/S7-1500 PLC with optimized blocks is
available for the OPC UA and MQTT data exchange using

space thus to restrict the visible variables.
For doing so select the previously established connection to a S7-1200/S7-1500 PLC with optimized blocks and
click the
Symbol Import
button. In a next step it is possible to flip open the complete available address space in
the
