Module description
The MOVIKIT® OPC UA software module provides an OPC UA server and an OPC UA client on the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER of performance classes UHX25A, UHX45A, UHX65A, and UHX86A. Both the server and the client implement communication according to the OPC UA specification following the "Micro Embedded Device Server" profile based on the OPC Foundation communication stack. Communication takes place via the binary protocol and standard port 4840.
The OPC UA server publishes its data via the symbol configuration in the IEC Editor or via the information model in the communication manager. It can communicate with OPC UA clients in the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER from SEW‑EURODRIVE as well as with devices from other manufacturers such as HMI panels, augmented reality solutions, or tablets for visualizations. The OPC UA client can communicate with other OPC UA servers via the data source manager.
In the simplest case, the client and server communicate unencrypted without certificates and with deactivated user management; logging in is anonymous. Encrypted communication with certificates and/or user management can also be used. Pub-Sub communication is not supported.
A MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER can also be an OPC UA client for other servers and an OPC UA server for other clients.
