Hi,
I'm investigating different network protocols for PLC to PLC comms, and PLC to SCADA. OPC UA seems to be a very useful protocol that I'm starting to learn more about, and it looks like one of the best options for Siemens PLCs that want to stick to optimized data blocks.
I'm having a play around with the Siemens block OpcUaClient at the moment but struggling to get it working.
Have any of you used OPC UA to transfer data between Siemens PLCs before? If so, what is your opinion on using it over the other Siemens data transfer methods?
Thanks
