Testing the connection
Requirement
To test the connection, you can use the "Sample Applications" of the OPC Foundation
opcfoundation.org/developer-tools/specifications-unified-architecture/opc-unified-
architecture-for-cnc-systems/) under "Developer Tools/Developer Kits/Unified Architecture". It
is necessary to register with the OPC Foundation for this.
Note
There are two ways to establish the connection:
● Connection without security
● Connection with the security policy "Basic128Rsa15" respectively "Basic256" and the
security mode "SignAndEncrypt"
SIEMENS always recommends setting up a connection with security, as only in this way the
confidentiality of the data transmitted can be ensured.
