Abstract
A network for data transmission, in particular in automation technology, includes: a) a plurality of terminals, b) a common gateway for external connection of the network with the plurality of terminals to an external data transmission network, c) data connections between the common gateway and individual terminals of the plurality of terminals, and d) a plurality of OPC-UA servers. One of the plurality of OPC-UA servers is in each case assigned to the individual terminals, and individual OPC-UA servers communicate with corresponding terminals so that the individual terminals are addressable by the external data transmission network according to OPC-UA. A software component, which creates one of the OPC-UA servers, is in each case stored in the individual terminals. The common gateway loads the software components for creating the individual OPC-UA servers from the terminals and executes them in the common gateway.
