Can i connect ET200L directly to a OPC Server?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Split from PROFINET data record.

Hello Praddep;

This is a Profibus-DP slave, there is no Profinet interface.

Also, this is a "dumb" slave, OPC requires that some intelligence reside in the OPC client and server, so the ET 200L cannot act as an OPC server.

Hope this helps,

If you have a Simatic Net OPC Server then also a Profibus or MPI connection can be used not only Ethernet. (The communication between the OPC Server and Client can only be done with ethernet but from OPC Server to PLC you can use also other protocols)

But As already said you need a Controller for the connection to the OPC Server.
