I would like to know if it's possible to setup a Siemens OPC server without being connected to any PLC. Would there be a simulations mode. I have the following software Simatic NET IE SOFTNET-S7 Lean. I'm not sure if I setup correctly see attached pictures. I beleive I can see the Siemens OPC server and another OPC server already installed in the network Factory Talk Gateway server using OPC scout. For now the Siemens configuration software and opc scout is on the same computer as the server. I would like to see the OPC server from a remote computer using another OPC client software.
