Hello All,
Advice sought. I'm currently looking at a project that requires a Siemens S7-1500 PLC to interract with an, as yet unspecified, MES system. The proposed protocol is OPC-UA making use of "Methods". I can see that Siemens have produced a tech note and demo for the creation and publication of methods in the PLC and have downloaded that to have a play with. Has anyone invoked an OPC-UA method on a remote server from the PLC?

The project is also likely to involve a database connection. Does anyone have any wise words to offer on the Tabular Data service?

Thanks in advance,
