Phoenix Contact PC Worx UA OPC server

Click2Contact

The PC Worx UA server from Phoenix Contact enables users to access all variables of PC Worx programmable controllers via the OPC UA communication protocol. With the release of server version 1.10, redundancy controllers (RFC 460R) are now also supported. In the event of a redundancy switchover, the server automatically accesses the new controller handling the process without variables being lost.

The server is designed for high volumes: it can forward data from up to 200 controllers to a visualisation or production control system. Variables are mapped via the PLCopen profile. The OPC UA server uses the binary protocol for communication, resulting in high data transmission speeds. A security concept based on certificates protects against unauthorised access, tampering and operating errors. The server also offers the option of encrypted communications.

Using the supplied configurator, users can easily configure the security settings and diagnose the current communication connections to the clients and controllers, both locally and remotely.
