PCo 2.1

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are looking at upgrading to PCo 2.1. Can somebody comment about its capabilities in detail? Its my understanding its going to have UDS capabilities as well besides the inherent listening capabilities. If you could share some documentation, that would be great too.

Regards,

Chanti.

2) Custom agent development

3) Provides Execution Services (i.e. Query) in addition to the existing notification capabilities

4) New query capability available with MII V12.2

5) Also supports legacy query and command capability (UDC queries) for MII 11.5, 12.0, 12.1

6) Remote PCo configuration from the MII system without logging into the computer hosting the PCo instance

Also supports some new agents other than OPC DA and OPC A&E,

Hope this helps!!

Chanti,

PCo 2.1 is currently in ramp up so it might be a good idea to get involved if you can. When you participate in a product ramp up you and your team (up to 10) get access to the online training called RKT. Its really the delta training but since PCo is a fairly new product we included links to the PCo 2.0 material.

Thanks Kevin. The links are not active for me. Do I need to have a different account?

Service Marketplace requires an S number and password to log in. However, you need to be officially entered into Ramp Up by SAP. This will give your S number the correct access to the RKT. You will need to talk with your SAP account executive for more information on signing up.
