Siemens S7 TCP/IP Driver

The integrated driver creates a seemless data transfer between the FlowChief system and up to 4000 Siemens controllers.

Following Siemens controllers can be connected to the FlowChief system: S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1200 G2, S7-1500.

Highlights

  • Read and write access to data from Siemens S7 controllers

  • Operation without changes to the control system

  • Easy integration of existing and new controllers

  • Global access to all areas automated devices (D, E, A, M, T, Z, P)

  • Symbolic access

  • TIA support (optimized component access) and RFC 1006, PUT/GET

  • Processing of real time data (exact to milliseconds)

  • Processing of values, time stamps and quality

  • Supports up to 256 communication channels simultaneously with each up to 16 controllers
