[?]: Communicate Step7 and INDUSOFT Web Studio V6.1

Post by counterreset »

I am really new in Indusoft but have a satisfactory knowledge on WinCCFlex, Step7 and WinCC.
I want to Use Indusoft as runtime Software in Place of WinCC Flex.
Pls someone help me to do that in detail.
I want to Communicate with the Indusoft Runtime Screen with Modbus, Profibus and TCP/IP protocol.
Tutorial for Indusoft is not available.
Also pls Let me know about the Tutorial of Indusoft.
Thanks
Umencho

Hello,
Drivers/OPC
All drivers are included with every installation of InduSoft Web Studio or CEView. Most PLCs, temperature controllers, and many other devices are supported at no extra charge.
Drivers supporting major PLC manufacturers such as Allen Bradley, Siemens, Schneider, Mitsubishi, Omron, GE-Fanuc, as well as standard protocols such as MODBUS RTU/ASCII, DeviceNet, Profibus, Interbus and Ethernet/IP are included.
While OPC communication is supported, it is not necessary for communications between InduSoft and most PLCs/controllers.
To see the list of drivers or download the most current drivers/protocols click here.(http://www.indusoft.com/drivers.php)
InduSoft Web Studiao is both an OPC DA Server, and/or an OPC Client. For more information about this technology please see the OPC Foundation web site.
BR,
Umencho

Umencho thanks for your reply .
Actually i never worked with OPC communication so i don't know the things like OPC server and OPC client. Please give me the right direction to learn about OPC communication.
As i only know how to communicate through MPI/ profibus/ TCP/IP/ Modbus with WinCCflex or WinCC with the Controller, i mentioned the names. But if OPC communication is effective let me conduct to that direction. Any website or Download link that can help me pls let me know.
I will wait for your help. If you already worked with Indusoft and Siemens PLCs then help me to do that. I have time now and i am strongly motivated to learn these things.
Once again thanks in Advance.

Try examples - http://www.indusoft.com/mainpage.php?ar ... cation/IWS The idea is with these drivers (programs) to make connection between Indusoft SCADA and OPC Server (most probably according to my knowledge :haha: ). You should need Simatic Net on which you will connect S7CPU and after with this program (driver) to connect Indusoft tags with CPU. I'll try to find example (not with Indusoft dostware) with other brand and if got it let you know.
