Testing The Connection - Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Commissioning Manual

Testing the connection

Requirement
To test the connection, you can use the "Sample Applications" of the OPC Foundation
www.opcf.org/) under "Developer Tools/Developer Kits/Unified Architecture". It is necessary
to register with the OPC Foundation for this.
Note
There are two ways to establish the connection:
● Connection without security
● Connection with the security policy "Basic128Rsa15" and the security mode
"SignAndEncrypt"
Installation
The "Sample Applications" additionally install a service with the name "OPC UA Local
Discovery Server". Should you want to locally test the OPC UA connection, i.e. an installation
directly on the PCU 50, you must deactivate this service.
Note
If the service "OPC UA Local Discovery Server" is active, the SINUMERIK OPC UA server
cannot be started correctly, because it blocks the needed TCP port 4840.
The service has no influence if the "Sample Applications" are installed on a PC in the network.
Deactivation is then not necessary.
