Java app connection to Siemens PLC (read/write)

Post by misa1515 »

Hello,
how can be possible to implement in Java application connection to Siemens PLC (read and write from/to DBs)?
1. S7-1500 (with or without CP modul),
- is required to use only non optimized DB, or can be used both optiminized and non optimized DBs?
2. S7-1200,
3. S7-300 (with integrated RJ45 connector or with CP modul),
4. Logo! (with integrated network port).

Thank you in advance.

But not for optimized data blocks.

You could also try OPC UA.
