CP 443-1 OPC UA communications processor

Communications processor for connecting a SIMATIC S7-400 to Industrial Ethernet networks via OPC UA mechanisms.

The CP 443-1 OPC UA supports:

• PG/OP communication
• Communication via OPC UA as OPC UA server and/or OPC UA client for exchanging process data (data access)

The CP makes it possible to provide data for, or receive data from, other stations via a standardized OPC UA interface direct from the SIMATIC S7-400 controller. The CP can be used here as an OPC UA server and/or an OPC UA client. Communication as an OPC UA client takes place via user blocks standardized by the PLCopen organization.

It can be used in SIMATIC S7-400 H systems as well as in standard SIMATIC S7-400 systems, and for fail-safe applications (PROFIsafe) in connection with an S7-400 F-CPU.
