Siemens INI-file

We support Siemens ISO on TCP with S7_200, S7_300, S7_400 and according VIPA models (S5 is not tested jet). The basic class is rlSiemensTCP . In order to create a Siemens TCP daemon you choose "Daemon->SiemensTCP" in pvdevelop. Now you can edit a small INI-File, which describes what to read from the PLC's.

Within your pvserver now you can use rlSiemensTCPClient to communicate with Siemens PLC's.

PPI INI-file
PPI INI-file

We support Siemens serial line protocol PPI using libnodave on Linux and Windows. The PPI protocol is a very simple serial line protocol. But Siemens does not open this protocol. libnodave has reverse engineered the protocol. But unfortunately libnodave does not run on OpenVMS. In order to create a Siemens PPI daemon you choose "Daemon->PPI" in pvdevelop. Now you can edit a small INI-File, which describes what to read from the PLC's.

Within your pvserver now you can use rlPPIClient to communicate with Siemens PLC's.
