1) The WinCC OA driver supports receiving buffered data from the PLC that was stored during a connection loss. This applies to all entries in the table marked with a "✔" in the Buffering column.

2) The WinCC OA driver or server itself buffers data during a connection loss and forwards it once the connection is re-established.
