Siemens S7 connector
Connect FairCom Edge to Siemens PLCs and devices using the Siemens S7 protocol
The Siemens S7 connector uses a field bus protocol to read and write data tags periodically to and from Siemens PLCs and devices. The time between data collection events can be modified. For example, to collect data twice every second, set "dataCollectionIntervalMilliseconds" to 5000. The connector converts the binary data into a JSON document, inserts it into an integration table of your choice, and can automatically send it to MQTT subscribers.
Note
A tag is a piece of named data with an associated value. For example, the tag temperature 70 includes both the named data temperature and the value 70. In JSON, a tag is a JSON property, such as "temperature": 70. In a SQL table, a tag is a data field, such as a field named temperature with a value of 70.
The FairCom Edge Siemens S7 service is included in the FairCom jsonAction API.
