What are the customer benefits?
Simple access from the control level to the field
level for configuration and parameter assignment
of devices, e.g. via PDM or Web browser.
For S7-1500 CPUs as of firmware V2.8 and TIA
Portal version 16, with a corresponding Runtime
license, you can benefit from the following ex-
pansions of the integrated OPC UA server:
Improved diagnostics: The OPC UA user
•
receives information on the status of the OPC
UA server via messages in the diagnostic
buffer, an OPC UA category in the Online &
Diagnostics area of TIA Portal as well as an
improved connection resources display.
Download behavior: In RUN mode, the OPC
•
UA server only performs a restart during
download from the TIA Portal when the newly
downloaded data has an effect on the data
management of the OPC UA server.
Server interface modeling: It is now possible
•
in the TIA Portal to model server interfaces or
import OPC UA Companion Specifications
and map them to the PLC data management.
What are the customer benefits?
You receive information on the particularities of
communication with the redundant system S7-
1500R/H
Functions with which you are familiar from the
SIMATIC S7-1500 automation system are im-
plemented for the redundant system
S7-1500R/H.
