Applications
OPC UA client
In addition to the OPC UA server,
an OPC UA client is integrated in
the CPU.
Using the corresponding OPC UA
communication instructions, you
can:
•
Call methods
•
Read and write data
Isochronous
Isochronous mode is also possible
mode for central
for modules that are inserted next
I/O
to the CPU in a centralized configu-
ration.
In this way, you can implement the
following functions, for example:
•
Dynamic control tasks
•
Measuring input
•
Output cam
•
Dosing processes, high-speed
analog value acquisition with
oversampling
