This training offers you a detailed introduction 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 continuous exercise concept will lead you gradually to a communication model that is solely based on OPC UA communication.
Objectives
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.
