Title: Driver Siemens Profilnet
Post by: automatizzando on November 12, 2016, 05:38:42 PM

How you can communicate with a Siemens S7 PLC in 1200 profilnet?
Siemens is used a lot, but I found that there are no drivers for this PLC.

There is a library called very good SNAP7 for siemens.
How can you integrate this advanceHMI Driver?
Many thanks

The users that I know using Siemens either work with OPC or use Modbus.

For a driver like SNAP7 to be used, there would have to be a wrapper that implements the IComcomponet interface, which can be a significant task because most likely SNAP7 doesn't implement subscriptions.
