3. Cloud connectivity:
   When using iC7-Automation with OPC UA for cloud connectivity, there’s no need for extra gateway devices. Drives can act as sensors, enabling easy connections to the cloud through firewalls. Implement this setup cost-effectively by communicating over the same cable as the controlling fieldbus or use a different port to segregate controlling fieldbus and internet connection. s. OPC UA supports predictive maintenance, data analysis in the cloud, and integrated device functionalities without extra hardware costs.

   Overall, iC7-Automation with OPC UA is a user-friendly and cost-effective solution that boosts efficiency and innovation in industrial settings. With its straightforward features and economic advantages, the OPC UA protocol plays a vital role in creating a more competitive, smarter and more connected industrial environment. Since iC7-Automation can be upgraded in the field with no need for extra hardware, it offers customers a future proof solution.

4. SCADA/HMI integration:
   iC7-Automation with OPC UA removes the need for extra hardware in drives, turning them into sensors for easy external connections. Users can access and control all parameters, expand machine capabilities, and choose from various SCADA/HMI vendors. This results in faster setup, fewer errors, and fewer demands for skilled personnel.
