Detailed Description
S7 TCP/IP interface for direct communication with Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs (S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500).
Establishes native S7 protocol connections over Ethernet without requiring additional OPC servers or middleware. Supports reading and writing data blocks (DB), memory areas (M), inputs (I), and outputs (Q) directly from the PLC. This interface is ideal for virtual commissioning with Siemens TIA Portal projects and PLCSIM Advanced simulations. Configure the PLC's IP address, rack and slot numbers to match your hardware configuration or PLCSIM setup.
