SNMP Request From a Unified Panel

Hi everyone,

I need to read some data from a network device (which is an SNMP Server) using SNMP requests. I wonder if there is any application example or document for this purpose for Unified Comfort panels?

Thanks in advance.

Hi BlocloT,

WinCC Unified has no SNMP client inside, so it is not possible to connect to a SNMP server. So you have to write your own SNMP client, runs it on the Unified Server machine and exchanges the needed payload with WinCC Unified via RT ODK or OpenPipe. Further information can be found here:

SIMATIC HMI WinCC Unified Open Pipe

Thank you Hazard_7 for the answer.

I also learned I can do it through a custom Edge app. I will test both the compare the performance and ease of use.
