S7 OPC UA Server

How to use

Product Information: The 'S7 OPC UA Server' has been replaced by 'Codabix' and is therefore no longer distributed as a stand-alone product. Each existing licence will be converted into a new licence of our successor OPC UA Middleware 'Codabix' at a reasonable price. Support contracts that are currently still valid will continue to be maintained. We will be glad to advise you free of charge and without obligation on our Industry 4.0 Middleware Codabix.

Not every SIMATIC S7 has the necessary resources for an onboard OPC UA server and an HMI cannot be realised without further products and licences from Siemens. The "S7 OPC UA Server with MobileHMI" gives every SIMATIC S7 access to the Industry 4.0 standard OPC UA and, in addition, an HMI that can also be operated on mobile devices regardless of the platform. The hardware and software of the controllers themselves remain completely unaffected.

The desired data areas are simply defined in the application as data points and, if desired, also visualised with appropriate scaling including optional branding of the HMI via a corresponding web element. The pages of the HMI that are individually compiled in this way thus not only enable pure visualisation, but also interaction with the controllers via mobile end devices.

While the individual data points are visualised via the HMI, the integrated OPC UA Server makes them available as OPC Data Variable Nodes to any OPC UA compatible client application. Which client application can then write or only read the corresponding nodes is configured directly in the "S7 OPC UA Server".

Licensing

A licence is purchased once for a specific installation or as a dongle and is valid for an unlimited period (= unlimited licence lifetime). In addition, our top level support by our developers as well as updates including new functions can be purchased for 12 months.

Shortly before the support expires, it is possible to extend it for at least another 12 months for 10% of the current list price. Updates and new functions can only be obtained with valid support. Support requests can still be submitted, but will be processed on a priority basis depending on their scope. Up to one month before the expiry of active support, we will notify you of the possibility of support renewal. A support renewal is possible at any time in the first year after expiry of the support for 10% + 20% for each started quarter (since expiry of the support) of the current list price. After the first year, a new licence must be purchased for the support renewal.
