OPC UA

Interface Option

OPC UA - The server connection for Höcker Polytechnik controls

With the integrated, open communication standard OPC UA, modern Höcker Polytechnik PLC systems offer you uncomplicated access to the current operating statuses of your MultiStar extraction system, PaintStar paint booth, briquetting press, shredders or even Höcker Polytechnik process waste disposal systems. With this interface and the connection to the Profinet infrastructure, the Höcker Polytechnik experts simplify the communication between control, server and machine for you. We thus offer you the optimal conditions for the digitalisation of your plant.

Ready for Industry 4.0 with the OPC UA interface

Act before you have to react
Höcker Polytechnik controls offer you access to the important current operating data with the integrated OPC UA interface. Your Höcker control can thus be integrated into your network via your local server. You thus have more control over the status and avoid unnecessary downtimes in your production.

Advantages and possibilities of the OPC UA Interface

For more control and an important overview, the OPC UA interface offers some possibilities that you and your company can use.

  • Transmission of operating data from the Höcker Polytechnik control system to your server
  • Activity log on the status of the system components
  • Consumption history (with optional energy measuring centre)

Höcker Polytechnik controllers with the communication protocol for IoT

The Höcker Polytechnik PLC experts support you in activating the OPC UA interface
ook the OPC UA activation service when you purchase your Höcker system. You will benefit from advantages such as operating data control, activity logs and an upgrade of your ISO 50001 energy management system. Subsequent OPC UA integration is also possible.

System requirements

  • Höcker Polytechnik Simatic PLC control with TIA Portal
  • Local server, network connection of the control

Configure your system according to your requirements

With the Höcker Polytechnik system you have access to the important information.
