Server for highest Performance

1. June 2022 – Product News

With the ACCON OPC UA Server, DELTA LOGIC offers machine builders and plant operators a powerful OPC UA Server for communication in Siemens S7 environments. Highest performance as well as a certification by the OPC Foundation distinguish the software in particular. (Product report published in KONSTRUKTION&ENTWICKLUNG - 06/2022)

With ACCON OPC UA Server, DELTA LOGIC offers machine builders and plant operators powerful software for two-way communication in a Siemens S7 environment - the server supports the Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) interface, which is increasingly becoming the standard in Industry 4.0, and ensures maximum performance. This makes the innovation from DELTA LOGIC already a future-proof investment.

ACCON OPC UA Server is specially developed for the requirements in a Siemens S7 environment. The software enables secure data transfer between OPC server and client as well as S7 PLCs, and this at a previously unattained speed. ACCON OPC UA Server supports the current OPC UA specification 1.04 and has already been certified by the OPC Foundation, which continuously develops and distributes the standard, at the end of 2021.

The software is used wherever an OPC UA-compliant interface is required when accessing the data of an S7 controller, for example for server-client communication in production data acquisition (PDA), in the manufacturing execution system (MES) or in enterprise resource planning (ERP).

High-Performance: Advantages and Functions of ACCON OPC UA Server

Like all Delta Logic products, ACCON OPC UA Server convinces with great user-friendliness, highest performance and last but not least best customer support. The most important advantages and highlights in short:

developed for use with Siemens S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500 and Siemens-compatible PLCs
simultaneous two-way communication (read and write) with up to 255 PLCs
high performance data access to PLCs
optimized data blocks (TIA Portal) are supported
online symbol import from S7-1200 and S7-1500 controllers
future-proof through OPC UA; certified by the OPC Foundation
easy installation and thus fast operational readiness

In comparative tests with competitor software, ACCON OPC UA Server demonstrates its superior performance, such as here with the read speed.

Future-proof with OPC UA

In automated Industry 4.0 plants and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), fast data exchange plays a crucial role. To improve communication between IT systems from higher levels (such as production planning) and operational technology (OT), more and more companies are relying on standardized interfaces. The advantage: machines, devices and software can communicate with each other in a network even if they have different manufacturers.
In automated Industry 4.0 plants and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), fast data exchange plays a crucial role. To improve communication between IT systems from higher levels (such as production planning) and operational technology (OT), more and more companies are relying on standardized interfaces. The advantage: machines, devices and software can communicate with each other in a network even if they have different manufacturers.

One such standard is OPC UA, which is increasingly replacing the previous OPC DA (for Data Access; also called OPC Classic). Whereas OPC Classic requires a Microsoft environment for server and client, OPC UA uses the platform-neutral TCP/IP protocol and thus dissolves the binding to the MS product world. This allows users to choose operating systems other than Windows or software from other manufacturers.

Furthermore, OPC UA offers many additional advantages and new functions, which are also exploited by ACCON OPC UA Server. With ACCON OPC UA Server and its wide range of applications in all industries, DELTA LOGIC once again underlines its high expertise in the field of industrial communication. The new software is available as of now.
