We would like to inform the Movicon developer community that the Siemens S7-300/400 TCP-IP 10.1.0.13 DBL 259 (S7TCP.dll) version has been updated.
This update includes a new PLC data importer which completely revises the old one by integrating a new component that makes a noticeable difference in improving its capacity to import data and simplicity of use. This importer now accesses the Simatic Step7 project directly, allowing one or more PLC project programs to be chosen and the possibility to directly select which data is to be imported.
This improved and extreme simplicity guarantees the user saved time and a further reduction in possible errors. Whereas the previous driver versions would only import data from symbolic .SDF files or .AWL datablocks individually, the Step7 project now offers maximum freedom in accessing and importing data.
However, ‘TIME’, ‘DATE’, ‘TIME_OF_DAY’, ‘DATE_AND_TIME’, ‘POINTER’ and ‘ANY’ data types still remain unsupported.
