Node Configuration

Station Configuration

Station syntax: <IP  Address> ; <Rack>; <Slot>;<S7 Family>

  • <IP Address>: IP address of the slave device in the Siemens network
  •  <Rack>: Rack of the device
  •  <Slot>: Slot of the device 
  •  <S7 Family>: Model of the device. The options are:

300/400: Support for PLC Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 Series

1200: Support for PLC Siemens S7-1200 and S7-1500 Series


Points Configuration

Address

The syntax for the Siemens communication points is: <Type>:<Format><Address>.< Bit or String Length >

For DataBlock type: DB<DB Group>:<Format><Address>.<Bit or String Length>

Where:

  • <Type>  is the register type. Valid values are: 
    • M=Flags
    • T=Timers
    • C=Counters
    • I=Inputs
    • Q=Outputs
    • DB=Data Blocks.
  • <DB Group> is the group number of the configured Data Block type.
  • <Address> is the device address.
  • <Format>  is the format to treat the value from or to the device. Valid values are:
    • B=Byte
    • W=Word
    • DW=Dword
    • F=Float
    • ST=String
  • <Bit or String Length> is the bit number. This parameter is optional. If you use the String type, it represents the String length.

The address is a single concatenated string with this structure: <Block><DBNumber><DataType><Address>.<BitOrStringLength>. Examples:

  • MW0 — Flag (Merker) word at address 0
  • IB0 — Input byte at address 0
  • QB4 — Output byte at address 4
  • DB1DW0 — Data Block 1, DWord at address 0
  • DB5DBB10 — Data Block 5, Byte at address 10
  • DB1DBST0.50 — Data Block 1, String at address 0, length 50
  • DB1DBW0.3 — Data Block 1, Word at address 0, bit 3
  • Block prefixes: M (Flag/Merker), T (Timer), C (Counter), I (Input), Q (Output), DB (Data Block)
  • Data types: B (Byte→Char), W (Word→Short), DW (DWord→Integer), F (Float→Single), ST (String→ASCII), .DBB (DB Byte), .DBW (DB Word), .DBDW (DB DWord), .DBF (DB Float), .DBSTR/.DBST (DB String)
