The aim is data exchange between a SIMATIC S7-400 and 3^rd party systems via a standardized interface. As an OPC UA server, the CP uses OPC UA mechanisms to provide data in a standardized and secure form for linking to an OPC UA-capable HMI, SCADA or database system as a client.

Data exchange with HMI/SCADA/MES/ERP systems from various manufacturers

As an OPC UA server, the communications processor provides data in a standardized form for exchange with a third-party controller. At the same time, the CP can retrieve data from another OPC UA server as an OPC UA client by programming the necessary blocks.
