The MergenHub interface — live values via S7 DB / merker / input-output addresses; optimized DB and S7comm connection.
What is Siemens S7?
The Siemens S7 family (S7-300/400 and the TIA-generation S7-1200/1500) is the backbone PLC series of automation. MergenHub accesses data blocks (DB), memory bits (M), inputs/outputs (I/Q), timers and counters via the S7comm protocol.
Where is it used?
Water/wastewater treatment lines, energy plants, manufacturing and process automation. The primary path to expose a Siemens PLC fleet to OPC UA and web SCADA.
Feature coverage
Classic and TIA-generation S7 controllers are supported with standard memory areas and data types.
