OPC UA-Systemkurs (IK-OPCSYS)

This training offers you a detailed introdocution into the basic concepts of the OPC UA system and its interfaces. You will learn the terminology behind the abstract model and test and deepen your understanding of it with several OPC UA capable components. You will learn about the most important OPC UA servers and clients in the SIMATIC product portfolio and will configure and program them in practical exercises. A continous exercise concept will lead you gradually to a communication model that is soley based on OPC UA communication.

At the end of this training you will be familiar with the basics, the terminology and the data models of OPC UA in the automation environment. You will understand the interaction of its components and be able to configure the most important OPC UA servers and clients of the SIMATIC product portfolio.
