Requirements

CPU tags

The process data that the gateway makes available to the OPC UA services, originate in the

connected S7-CPU. You will find the permitted memory areas of the CPU and the supported

data types in the section Data points (Page 78).

A data point that is configured for OPC UA cannot be configured for transfer to a cloud

broker.

The data point names assigned during data point configuration are included in the NodeID of

an item as part of the identifier, see section Properties of the OPC UA server (Page 58).

Note:

Where possible read tags in in data blocks block by block per DB to achieve a higher speed.

Security settings of connected clients

If you use the gateway as an OPC UA server and the communication partners (UA clients)

you are using demand a certificate, you must create or import a self-signed server certificate.

The higher byte 1 is saved first. (Modbus standard)

The lower byte 0 is saved first.
