    I am fairly new to codesys, and i cannot find where to setup the opc settings, if there are any.
    All other PLC:s i have been using have its seperate OPC settings somewhere to be found.

    I have a Kentima HMI Panel which has Windows 7 Embedded, and Kepware comes preinstalled on it.
    I cannot find any opc on the Berghof, neither from the HMI Panel, nor from my own computer using tools like MatrikonOPC Analyzer.

    Since Kepware has an ongoing market evaluation regarding the need for a Codesys driver I don't think you can talk directly to Codesys from it. To help push for a driver, please fill in and submit this form on their homepage:
    https://info.kepware.com/codesys-driver-evaluation

    As to your question, I think you will need to use the Codesys OPC Server. The OPC is free of charge and comes with Codesys Developer, maybe you can install it on the Kentima even.

    Either way you probably need to add a Symbol Configuration to your Codesys application in the Berghof PLC to be able to choose what variables you want to expose to the outside world.

    Hello StefanGr

    Maybe try to Modbus TCP on the controller and see you are able to connect from the HMI Panel useing the Modbus Driver inside Kepware.

    Another way maybe using OPC UA Client driver on the Kepware, but the you need at setup the Controller as an OPC UA Server, if this is support by your controller (Codesys)

    Hi.

    I have got OPC-DA working, to the PLC, with my computer, and can browse the tags.
    However, the Panel HMI I am using (Kentima), does not seem to be able to install the OPC Server.

    The Panel is a windows 7 embedded.

    Here is when i start the V3.5 SP9, Patch 3 installer

    And when i modify the installation here i would expect an opc server option
