OPC UA Server
The OPC UA Server provides data from several octoplant servers via OPC UA in IT/OT environments. This enables standardized multi-server reporting, enabling you to take more informed decisions.
The integration of theoctoplant OPC UA Serveralso reduces the manual effort required for administrating several octoplant servers. The time saving is therefore even bigger than before.
The following two scenarios are possible when using a octoplant OPC UA Server:
Scenario 1: The OPC UA Server can connect directly to the octoplant servers
If theOPC UA Serverhas a direct connection, it will connect to every octoplant server and export the data. The exported data is imported directly into the OPC UA Server.
You can specify how often or at what interval you want an automatic export to take place.Image: Integration OPC UA Server, Scenario 1
Scenario 2: The OPC UA Server cannot connect directly to the octoplant servers
If the OPC UA Serverdoes not have a direct connection to the octoplant server, the data will be exported from every octoplant server using the ExportModule. This data is then stored on a central file server. The OPC UA Server can access this central storage location and import the data from the octoplant servers, even if these are located at different sites.
If a new export is performed, the OPC UA Serverwill recognize this immediately and import the new data.Image: Integration OPC UA Server, Scenario 2
Note
The OPC UA Server is an add-on and needs to be activated separately in your license. If you are interested in using
