You are so calm. You speek to the point..no unnecessary talk. Covering all the points while teaching main point. 😊 Thank you so much for sucha an informative content🙏

[@electricalautomation]

Appreciate your comments. Yes, I tried to show all the procedures in the video for the operation. That caused my videos most of them were around 30mins. But all of them include my understanding and detailed explanation. Thanks again!

[@libanabu6222]

Awesome had some issue getting it done but watching your video over and over again like 300 times I was able to get it done. Big Thanks

[@electricalautomation]

I super glad the video could provide some help. Those video are slight long and boring. But it includes many info and configuration steps, because my aim is that using those videos as my knowledge or experience summary. That also allows me to quickly warm up this tech if I left it couples of months or years. Again Welcome!

[@Aman-et7hr]

Very informative video. No hidden tricks! Thank you so much sir!

[@electricalautomation]

Glad you like it! Welcome! Yes, there is no hidden tricks in all my videos. It is my driven to deliver the 'solution' that if you follow the video step by step, then you will be also Win. That is also the reason my video usually >= 20mins, it looks too long but includes all the related info for the topic. Enjoy!

Recommend to use the latest CPU firmware to do the test. Some wired problem may be caused by the firmware issue. e.g. V4.4.1 of S7-1200 fixed some issues on the OPC UA functions. e.g. Update V4.4.1 The S7-1200 CPU firmware update V4.4.1 replaces the V4.4.0 and corrects the following issues: -Corrects the number of allowed S7 routed connections with left-side modules -When TIA downloads only hardware configuration, the OPC UA security policies are applied appropriately -Corrects the OPC UA Structure sizes in OPC UA Binary Protocol -Improves secure open user communication robustness -Allows secure open user communication when using self-signed certificates -Fixes sporadic DataLog corruption when downloading from the Web server

Hi! Beautifully explained. couldn't have been better. Three request: 1)Could you also do the same with simulated PLC (Siemens plc advanced v2.0). 2)Can same thing also be achieved with nettoplcsim? 3)How to the repeat the process with ABB PLC?

[@MatheusHeitorSilvaFerreira]

Great video about OPC UA. I have a problem with Siemens OPC UA: currently using S7-1200 with firmware V4.4.1 and trying to transfer an array with 100 elements to my supervisory software. But S7-1200 doesn't allow transfer entire array, only individual elements with individual NodeIDs. But with that many array elements the acquisition time goes beyond 800 ms and I need it to be under 100 ms. Do you have an workaround in how to send an entire array data through OPC UA?

[@electricalautomation]

You may program a FB for copying DB1 to DB2. DB1 is the data within a arrary, DB2 is the data under a "STRUCT". DB2 is used for OPC UA interface. You have to program by yourself to do 'copy'. You can refer the link support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/42603881/how-do-you-copy-memory-areas-and-structured-data-in-step-7-(tia-portal)-?dti=0&lc=en-WW

[@williamli3788]

thanks , can you give me some advise for how to install different version Tia in one PC

[@electricalautomation]

You can install multiple versions of TIA in one PC, I would recommend install them following from low to high V16->V17->V18..

[@williamli3788]

hi, when i follow your steps to install Tia, i get the error as followed: TiA Portal V17 WinCC Prof Ed cannot be operated in parallel with the currently installed version of WinCC Professional'or WinCC Runtime Professional. Please remove WinCC Professional'and WinCC Runtime Professional in order to operate TA Portal V17 WinCC Prof Ed. If you uninstall WinCC Professional'via Control Panel,select 'Siemens Totally Integrated Automation Portal'and follow the wizard.

[@logandematteis6975]

is there a way to set a custom nodeid ? because I have to set them at a specific identifier to use them on another program (and I can't set them as string because I use S71200 and it's not supported)

[@electricalautomation]

Sorry I have no idea, probably search some documents for OPC UA standard and protocol.

[@nickiho3997]

Hi, could you show how the Sign&Encrypt and User administration be handled both on the PLC and the client side PC? Since if this is really deploy for a customer, they always want the full armor security, and ideally want an OPC-UA XML file exported for them for customer integration. Thanks!

[@electricalautomation]

Would be my plan for the OPC UA security just not recently, I am working on motion control videos these days. Did you have troubles on the OPC UA with encrypt setting? I'd like to know which specific step you got trouble.

[@alexvan6921]

hi for the 'simatic opc ua s7-1200 basic runtime license', is that required to purchase separately? my TIA didn't show up that option.

[@electricalautomation]

Purchase or not doen't cause trouble on your OPC UA functionalities test purpose. Officially, you need to purchase the OPC UA runtime license. Regarding your question on not showing up, please check out if you are selecting S7-1200 with version V4.4., and the TIA portal V16. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5Taq4mrZ6iZq6s

[@jorgevarona2957]

Do you know how to write th value of a node to an other node in UAexpert?

[@electricalautomation]

Likely there is no way to write a node to another node in UAexpert. But an alternative way is that you could create two tags in OPC UA Server side (PLC), and let the PLC to copy or exchange between two tags. Or use KepserverEX software. KepserverEX has 'advanced tag' function, which allow you to copy from one tag to the other. You could see this 'advanced tag' function from kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnPLlJywpJqUj6s

[@jorgevarona2957]

@@electricalautomation I 'm gonna try it, thanks

[@MrPrateek9711]

Thanks for a descriptive video but when I tried these steps my UAexpert could not connect to OPC UA server and gave "failed due to badtimeout" error. Anyone faced the same?

[@electricalautomation]

Does your OPC UA Client and OPC UA Server in a PC together or separately at different PCs.

[@HermanWillems]

I wanted to use the OPC UA server functionality. I wanted to test it. But you need an aditional license for the OPC UA server to work. WTF Siemens. :( i just wanna play around. Also does Siemens Provide OPC UA with TSN? (Time Sensitive Networking?) for hard real-time data transfer? (Like Profinet, ethercat can) Im afraid they just do the LEAST effort for OPC UA. Unlike other PLC brands. :( too bad.

[@Skookumshroom]

I just watched this, and enjoyed the experience second hand. My TIA is still V14 and the boss needed me to have this capability for a project last week. HMS Flexy 205 was a good choice. until I get V16. S7-1200 starterbox confirmed comes with a single OPC UA Server license, if this helps you. I have not asked for a price of a single license yet. namaste

[@HermanWillems]

@@Skookumshroom ah yes. Its ok if the company pays the hardware and licenses. We already have Tia V16. We get the latest when its out. But im not gonna buy myself a license privatly with my own money. :) just looking for cheap IO nodes that have OPC UA... i dont mind the brand. Thought the S7-1200 series was a cheap option because i have a defect s7-1200 laying around.

[@rahulravi4424]

I get BadTimeout and Bad_SecurityPolicyRejected when i try to connect in Uaexpert... please help me

[@electricalautomation]

Try without the security at first. And if no security can make, then check out the security setting in the PLC CPU OPC UA setting. Also turn off the windows firewall and virus software.

[@pranavthakkar6687]

Is it not same as kepserver? Just wanted to know more about this.

[@electricalautomation]

When a software is needed to communicate with a PLC, the Kepserver is a common used tool to build up a bridge communicate with PLC and tranfer the data to the third end software. But OPC UA open a new door, if the software support OPC UA (OPC UA would be more common protocol on the communication ), the PLC which is built in OPC UA protocol can exchange the data with the third end software directly. The OPC UA also allows the PLCs or controllers comes from different brands can exchange the data directly without relying on another software. The machine-to-machine communication can be realized.

[@electricalautomation]

Take Omron NX102 and Siemens S7-1500 controller as example, they both support OPC UA. The S7-1500 can run as OPC UA Client, while NX102 runs as OPC UA Server, then they can communicate together.

How to access the data logs via OPC UA?

[@electricalautomation]

You could use the programming to exchange your data block DB using for data logs with the DB for OPC UA as 22:55. Use SCL ''FOR" loop will be easy to batch copy or shift the data in the Data block

No Sorry. You can use "PLCSim Advance" to simulate S7-1500 and test OPC UA. But PLCSim so far can not do OPC UA.

Hi I'm using Raspberry Pi as a OPCUA Server, I have programmed the PLC control logic and cofigurated the variables supporting OPCUA features in CODESYS. However wenn I connect the OPCUA Client in UaExpert, I get following errors. The server returned no certificate, all certificate checks will be skipped. [uastack] OpcUa_P_RawSocket_InetAddr: getaddrinfo failed with 11001. [uastack] OpcUa_P_ParseUrl: OpcUa_P_RawSocket_InetAddr reports error 0xA0060000. Error ‘BadHostUnknown’ was returned during OpenSecureChannel. Please help me out! Thank you 请问你会说汉语吗？我们也可以用汉语交流，我在德国读书，寻求你的帮助，这个问题对我很重要，如果能解决，我很感激。先谢谢

[@electricalautomation]

Sorry, I cannot answer your question since I never did Raspberry Pi. Probably you could try "None security". If you used UaExpert as OPCUA Client and it cannot read your Raspberry Pi OPCUA Server, most likely the OPC UA library used in your Raspberry Pi has issues.
