7.6.2 Steps of the OPC UA configurationWhen using the Siemens TIA Portal, the OPC UA configuration happens by the followingsteps:1. Create your project in the Siemens TIA Portal with the corresponding hardware con-figuration.Ä Chap. 13.3 ‘TIA Portal - Hardware configuration - CPU’ page 2962. Configure the corresponding Ethernet connection for PG/OP communication andestablish an online connection.Ä Chap. 13.4 ‘TIA Portal - Hardware configuration -Ethernet PG/OP channel’ page 2993. Save translate and transfer your project.Ä Chap. 13.10 ‘TIA Portal - Projecttransfer’ page 3204. Call the external OPC UA Configurator from the Siemens TIA Portal. For this clickat ‘Devices & networks’ on the CPU of VIPA and select ‘Start device tool’ .ð A dialog window opens. Select ‘OPC UA Configurator’ and click [Start].5. Ignore the query ‘Set interface’ with [OK]ð The OPC UA Configurator is started.6. If not yet confirmed, you will now receive an access request in the TIA Portal.Please note that due to the software the access request does notappear in the foreground. To show the access request, you mustagain bring the Siemens TIA Portal to the foreground. Once theaccess has been selected, you must again bring the ‘OPC UAConfigurator’ to the foreground.You have the following options for access:n ‘No’ : Deny access - the OPC UA Configurator is not started.n ‘Yes’ : Access is permitted once and the OPC UA Configurator is started.n ‘Yes to all’ : Access is permitted and the OPC UA Configurator is started. At thenext call, the access request is no longer shown.Allow access with ‘Yes’ respectively ‘Yes to all’ .ðNOTICE!Data exchange between platforms of different vendorsIf you allow access, you permit the exchange of data betweenOPC UA Configurator and your project data of the Siemens TIAPortal.– Ensure that the necessary security guidelines are compliedwith.For the OPC UA configuration, the data is taken from the Siemens TIA Portalproject and listed in the table for the OPC UA configuration.Please note that only the objects of the LD, FBD and IL lan-guages can be transferred to the OPC UA Configurator.7. Configure the OPC UA server and the data for the OPC UA communication.Steps of configurationVIPA System SLIODeployment OPC UAUsage in Siemens TIA Portal > Steps of the OPC UA configurationHB300 | CPU | 013-CCF0R00 | en | 19-30198
