SUMMIT 8800 GENERAL INFORMATION 09
8 .11 SOAP protocol
SOAP or Simple object access protocol is a messaging protocol based on XML. The big advan-
tage is that it does not need configuration in the Summit as the host can send a SOAP message
with a request for any variable in the Summit database, e.g., flow, temperature and pressure.
The Summit will return an XML-formatted document with the resulting data. Because XML is
a standardized machine-usable format, it can then be read directly into a SCADA system or an
accounting application.
In the SUMMIT 8800 SOAP is using the HTTP protocol, so on the Ethernet port Web access has to
be enabled:

The only further configuration is that for security purposes SOAP users must be defined:
