Driver Siemens S7-200/300/400/1200

Scope of performance

The BORIS driver for Siemens S7-200/300/400/1200 allows the communication between the block oriented simulation system BORIS and a Siemens PLC. It can be used

for the Micro-PLC S7-200 in combination with a PC/PPI-cable and
for the PLC series S7-300/400/1200 via MPI and ISO via TCP/IP.

Based on this driver I/O-values out of any data block (or timer, flag) can be read resp. be specified. At present the following data types are available:

BYTE	INT	WORD	DINT	DWORD
BCD WORD	BCD DWORD	S/ REAL	S5 REAL	S5TIME
TIME	DATE	TIME_OF_DAY

In addition to that it is possible to exchange information about the core image of the digital/analog in- and outputs and the state of counters, timers and flags of the automation unit. The in- and outputs of the hardware are configured via convenient dialogs directly within the BORIS development environment.

The S7-driver does not require any additional software.
