TIP: S7-1500 OPC UA Server Client communication, exporting XML files FAQ S7-1200: How do you connect a PC station to an S7-1200 with OPC? Programming an OPC UA .NET Client with C# for the SIMATIC NET OPC UA Server Forum: Connect a PC Station to an S7-1200 using OPC-ua In a general sense, only the S7-1500 family controller is suitable for your purposes S7-1200 The family of controllers, as you can see, can only be OPС UA Server

If answer is no, why Siemens allows server on 1200 and client not?

In TCSB you must pay for licenses and opc ua server-cliente will be free... Capitalism my friend!
