S7/S5 OPC Server

Product description:

One S7/S5 OPC Server is all you need to quickly and conveniently access process and diagnostic data in up to 256 Siemens S5, S7 200 / 300 / 400 and WinAC controllers as well as Siemens compatible controllers. 

Easy communication with Siemens controllers

You can use any OPC compliant client application to read and write all input and output data, data blocks, markers, timers, and counters in the controllers. Up to 256 controllers can be accessed simultaneously. The variables are consistently addressed using STEP7 or STEP5 syntax. No changes to the control program are required for communication with the S7/S5 OPC Server.

Flexible, high-performance solution

Access to the controller is available via Ethernet, PROFIBUS, USB or serial communication. CPs from various manufacturers as well as Softing gateways and Softing NETLink adapters are supported for Ethernet communication. The S7/S5 OPC Server employs a unique and proprietary algorithm to optimize the data throughput between the OPC Server and the SIEMENS controllers by automatically re-combining PLC Read and Write Requests for optimal performance. This feature alone renders Softing’s OPC Server the best-in-class product.

Configuration from STEP7 or Excel, diagnostics via web browser

The OPC namespace is extremely quick to configure by importing symbolic names from STEP7 projects or Excel-files. Existing configurations can be exported from software applications like visualization or process control systems to Excel, and are then conveniently uploaded to the S7/S5 OPC Server. The OPC server provides a web server for diagnostics and process data visualization. Simply use a standard web browser to display PLC states and process data. For secure, high-performance remote access without DCOM, the S7/S5 OPC Server includes Softing ’s OPC Tunnel. This eliminates the need to configure DCOM settings and saves you considerable cost and time.
