Hello guys; I didnot have occasion to use OPC between OInsight and S7 CPUs, but here it is stated that Desigo Insight-OPEN will use Simatic Net OPC client over Profibus or Industrial Ethernet to connect to S7 PLCs: http://www.siemens.nl/sbt/doc/klt/N9756en.pdf Working with Desigo units was a good experience, but I've always been frustrated that there was no easy way to use industrial-grade Siemens modules for my plants. This is not to denigrate the SBT unit, but I'm used to S7 CPUs and would like to continue working in the same environment , using the same softwares... Maybe I'm getting old. Recently I came across this information, maybe others would like a look at it also. SBT has released (only in Germany for the moment) an HVAC library for S7-300 and S7-400 CPUs. They call it HVAC-Easy Select, and can be programmed in LAD, FBD and STL, using the Step7 environment. http://pcs.khe.siemens.com/index_simatic_hvac_easy_select-6759.htm I have also found that the licensing process for these library products is slightly different that our usual way: the license is integrated in the MMC (S7-300 CPUs) or in the EPROM (S7-400 CPUs) and is locked to a single unique CPU. It cannot be transfered to another CPU, not even for development purposes in-house. That will take some adjustments... I wonder if anyone from the german forum could find oput if anyone there has had any experience with these libraries, just to see how efficient and esay to usethey are. Regards, Daniel Chartier |
