OPC UA with SIMATIC Controllers (Learning Journey)

Smart. Semantic. Secure. The open, Ethernet-based communication standard OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) offers the best prerequisites for digitization.

In this Learning Journey, you will learn the basics of OPC UA and how to use the communication standard with SIMATIC controllers and WinCC Unified HMIs.

Through an optimal mix of guided live modules (online) and independent self-study modules, you will learn the content that is important for your work with sustainable learning success. With the help of numerous practical tasks in our virtual practice environment, you will prepare yourself ideally for practice during the learning journey. In addition, topic-related on-demand content will support you in your own personal practical transfer.

After this Learning Journey, you can configure SIMATIC controllers as OPC UA servers and program them as OPC UA clients. In addition, you can use WinCC Unified HMIs as OPC UA clients and secure the entire OPC UA communication with encryption and authentication. You are familiar with OPC UA Companions Specifications and are able to implement them or your own server interfaces with TIA Portal and SiOME.
