The SIMATIC S7 Connector is an application that links your Industrial Edge Device to S7-Protocol (S7-300/400/1200/1500) controllers, as well as optimized S7-Protocol (S7-1200/1500) controllers. To establish these connections, you have the option to configure them through either the Common Connector Configurator or Common Configurator. Once configured, you can transfer the selected data points to the Industrial Edge Runtime of the respective Industrial Edge Device (IED). The Industrial Edge Runtime then sends this data to the Databus. The collected data can be utilized in your Industrial Edge apps or other applications.
The SIMATIC S7 Connector provides easy connectivity with SIMATIC PLCs (S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500) via communication channel for tags and alarms data acquisition.
