Snap7, through three specialized components: Client and the inedited Server and Partner, allows you to definitively integrate your PC based systems into a PLC automation chain.

Designed to transfer large amounts of hi-speed data in industrial facilities, it scales easily, down to small Linux Arm boards such as Raspberry PI.

Hi level object oriented wrappers are provided, currently C/C++, .NET/Mono, Pascal, LabVIEW, Python with many source code examples.

Very easy to use, a full working server example is not bigger than the “Hello world”.

Many projects/makefiles are ready to run to easily rebuild Snap7 in any platform without the need of be a C++ guru.

Very detailed documentation provided.

Features

  • Native multi-architecture design (32/64 bit).
  • Runtime endian-aware architecture (no compiler switch needed)
  • Three different native thread models for performance optimization: Win32/Posix/Solaris
  • Two data transfer models: classic synchronous and asynchronous.
  • Two data flow models: polling and unsolicited (PLC transfers data when it wants to).
  • No dependence on any third-party libraries, no installation needed, zero configuration.
  • Supported : S7 300/400/1200/1500/WinAC, LOGO 0BA7/0BA8, S7200, SINAMICS
  • Set/Clear password functions to full access to protected PLC

  • Veramente un lavoro straordinario. Complimenti Davide! La mia esigenza era solo quella di avere uno strumento per leggere e scrivere dei registri. Inoltre ero alla ricerca di un simulatore di Siemens S7. Quando ho iniziato a guardare gli esempi e la documentazione ho capito il grande lavoro dietro questo progetto. Ho trovato molto utili i programmi serverdemo.exe e clientdemo.exe che mi hanno dato la possibilità di fare rapidamente dei test. Le librerie sono molto semplici da integrare.
