IBH Softec IBH OPC UA IOT2040 3206

A microSD card with the OPC UA server / client with IBHsoftec firewall is available for the Siemens Gateway IOT2040 (6ES7647-0AA00-1YA2). By simply plugging the preconfigured microSD card from IBHsoftec, the IOT2040 becomes an OPC UA server / client for Siemens PLCs. This solution integrates SIMATIC S5, S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500 and Logo! (Ethernet versions) Controllers into the OPC UA world.It is an OPC UA Server/Client module with integrated firewall for the SIMATIC S5, S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500 and LOGO! (Ethernet versions) PLC. It is a compact unit for DIN rail mount with four Ethernet ports and a 24V power supply.The configuration of the IBH OPC UA Server/Client is made with the free IBH OPC UA Editor, the Original Siemens STEP7 or the TIA Portal. There is no need for other special software. Thus, the OPC UA Server/Client can be seamlessly integrated into the PLC project. The IBH OPC UA Server/Client can handle up to 31 STEP7 and / or TIA projects simultaneously.The definition of the variables will be transferred from the programming tool to the OPC UA Server/Client via Ethernet. The attributes of the variables (f.i. write protection or limits) will be defined directly within the PLC project. This allows symbolic access to variables and data block structures.The communication to the S5 and S7 PLC is established over Ethernet. If the PLC has no Ethernet port, our well known gateways IBH Link S7++ or IBH Link S5++ can be used. There is one Ethernet Port for machine level and one Ethernet Port for the supervision level. On the supervision level only OPC access is allowed. Between both levels there is a firewall integrated. The configuration of the Ethernet ports can be made using a standard web browser.One of the advantages of the IBHsoftec solution is, that it supports Client and Server functions simultaneously. This allows data exchange between different OPC UA Servers. For example control systems and other equipment with OPC UA servers from different manufacturers can exchange data with each other. The configuration of the client functions will be made using a standard web browser. .User defined OPC UA variables: Data structures can be defined in a separate namespace and can be connected to any other OPC UA server via the client function. This means that other OPC UA clients can also read and write these data structures.MQTT connection: User defined OPC UA variables can be exchanged with a MQTT broker/server.The IBH Link UA can thus be used as a layer between machines and control systems (MES, ERP ...) independently of Simatic controllers.While OPC Data Access allows the access to data in real time, supports OPC Historical Access, also called OPC HDA access, access to already stored data. From simple data logging systems to complex SCADA systems historical data can be queried on standardized manner. The activation of the Historical data is easily performed using the web browser.IBHsoftec now supports the SIMATIC IOT2000 Input / Output Modules (5xDI 2xAI 2xDO) with its SD card version of the OPC UA server.The input / output modules can be easily activated via the Web configurator and are addressed by the integrated S7 SoftPLC.Thus the use of the IOT2040 for MES systems can also be used e.g. on old systems without the need of an external PLC to collect the data.
