Number Of Client Instructions That Can Be Used Simultaneously - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 Function Manual

OPC UA communication
9.4 Using the S7-1500 CPU as an OPC UA client
Information about the client instructions
The client instructions are described in detail in the help to the Instructions > Communication
> OPC UA > OPC UA client.
Application example in Online Support
This application example (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109762770)
provides you with an S7 user block "OpcUaClient" that summarizes the most important
functions of the OPC UA instructions, accelerates the implementation for you and simplifies
the programming. The OPC UA server in the example is an S7-1500 controller with a simple
simulation program for process values.
The S7 user block performs the following:
● Establishment and termination of the connection to the server
● Diagnostics of the connection and automatic reconnection after connection terminations
● Registered Read
● Registered Write
● Registered Method Call
