S7/S5 OPC Server

Product description:

Fast And Easy Access to S7 and S5 Controllers

The new version of the S7/S5 OPC Server from Softing is now even more universal in application, higher in performance and easier to use.

Being only one component, the S7/S5 OPC Server offers fast and convenient access to process data in S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and WinAC controllers, in C7 and M7 units as well as in S5, Pilz, Saia-Burgess or VIPA controllers. The variables are addressed using STEP7/STEP5 semantics regardless of the type of controller.

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. There is no need to modify the PLC program to establish a communication link with the S7/S5 OPC Server.

Access the controller over Ethernet, PROFIBUS, USB, or a serial link with or without a modem. CPs (e.g.Siemens CP243-1 for S7-200, CP343-1 for S7-300, CP443-1 for S7-400) from various manufacturers, gateways and the NETLink PRO ETH from Softing are supported for Ethernet communication.

Due to the intelligent grouping of read and write requests, the data throughput is optimized so efficiently that Softing's S7/S5 OPC Server won the Best-in-Class award in a practice related performance comparison of seven S7 OPC servers from renowned manufacturers.
