    In addition, the apps have been expanded with the function that contact persons for plants/plants can be displayed and contacted in the app. The password can now also be reset by the user directly in the app. Man-in-the-middle protection also protects the apps from external attacks and enables even safer use.

    Improved agent for OPC UA

    The OPC Unified Architecture is a platform-independent, service-oriented architecture. It integrates the functionality of the previous OPC Classic standard into an expandable framework. The previous agent in the ACC for this standard made it possible to read the necessary data such as message text or alarm group from the OPC server and then use it for alarming.

    ACC V22 now has an extended ACC user interface to easily transfer existing connections with the OPC DA standard to the new world. This means that the existing configuration of an OPC DA agent in Excel can simply be transferred to the Excel template of the OPC UA agent and imported directly using an import function. The OPC UA agent supports all common OPC UA security mechanisms and is integrated into the new Monitoring option.

    Enhancements to the Teamdispo option – optimized display of participant data
