Notes on configuration limits when using server interfaces

When you use OPC UA server interfaces, you must comply with limits for the following
objects in line with the S7-1500 CPU performance class:
● Number of server interfaces
● Number of OPC UA nodes
● Load object data volume
● If you have implemented methods: Number of server methods or server method
instances
Configuration limits for OPC UA server interfaces
The table below sets out the configuration limits for S7-1500 CPUs; these must also be
taken into account when you compile and load a configuration.
