Introduction
For state-of-the-art production systems, the traceability of products and product
parts by means of a machine-readable identification is an essential requirement.
With an unambiguous coding, all the production processes can be planned and
carried out for every part produced, and changes in the production process or in
the materials used can be documented. The 2D codes are a coding technique
which makes it possible to identify products during manufacturing and to trace
them after they have been delivered.
Overview of the automation task

At the incoming goods department of a company, a reader should record the goods
received and transmit the data to a SIMATIC S7 station. For the identification of the
recorded products, the S7 station should pass on the code that was scanned to a
PC station via an OPC server. The scan code is archived in an MS Access
database, which is searched for a product name of a code that has been read in
(scan code).
The OPC server transmits the product name back to the S7 station.
The scanning of the every product should be recorded with a time stamp in the
MS Access database.
The figure below provides an overview of the automation task.

3.3 Communication of the S7 station with the PC via the OPC interface
3.3 Communication of the S7 station with the PC via the

OPC interface
Introduction
This chapter shows how the data can be read from the PLC via the OPC interface
or can be written into the PLC.
Microsoft Access as the OPC client initiates the communication via the OPC
interface and provides the OPC server with reading/writing requests. The OPC
server carries out these reading and/or writing requests.
Program flow
The following diagram shows the basic function of the application example.
The diagram represents a complete sequence from the data source to the saving
of the scan code on the MC Access database and storage of the corresponding
product name into the PLC.
In this application example, the data exchange is carried out symbolically. All the
variables symbols defined in the data blocks of the S7 station are visible for the
OPC server and their authorizations (read/write, read, write or none) have been
defined (see Chapter 5-9).
