User-specific procedure
As described in the previous section, the communication modules are designed for different
environments and requirements.
If you operate the communication modules in an automation environment, they are
configured and programmed from the perspective of an S7 user. If you also operate the
communication modules in an OPC UA environment, the extended configuration and
programming is performed from the perspective of an OPC UA user.
If you want to adapt the communication modules to your requirements, we recommend the
following user-specific procedure:
Note
Synchronize device time
Note that the time of the device clock corresponds to UTC time and cannot be adjusted to
time zones. It is recommended to synchronize the time with an NTP server to obtain unique
time information.
