Milos Petrovic Posts: 146 Rating: (7)	Dear coleagues, I want to connect third party SCADA software over OPC to S7-400 station which has CP443-1 card. I have installation of SIMATIC NET IE SOFTNET-S7 LEAN Edition 2008. Could you please provide me some manual for configuring OPC server on PC station and how to configure connection to PLC? Thanks in advance! Milos

Milos Petrovic Dear coleagues, I want to connect third party SCADA software over OPC to S7-400 station which has CP443-1 card. So your SCADA system is capable to act as OPC client? Milos Petrovic Could you please provide me some manual for configuring OPC server on PC station and how to configure connection to PLC? FAQ And with your Simatic Net software are coming some documentation PDFs. Somewhere around : START -> Siemens automation -> Simatic -> simatic net -> "xxx.pdf" (project PC station...) sry i do not have the exact path right here.
	Best Regards, Fafner

Dear Fafner, Thanks for helping again Our web based SCADA (developed by our company) can act as OPC client and our intention is to collect some variables from S7-400 PLC. Thanks for help again. I will try this and let you know if I found a solution. Can this be tested maybe by using PLCSIM? Just to see in OPC scout some variables changing? PLC is not available for testing. Best regards Milos

Dear Fafner, I use Step7 V5.4. On some other post on this forum I found that it is not possible to simulate OPC with PLCSIM because it doesn't have any communication capabilities But on site I tested it with real CPU and it worksThanks for the manual! Best regards, Milos
