Is it possible to communicvate with S7 300 PLC without simatic net software. I have only SI7 driver with IFIX3.5 and i want to comunicate with S7 300 on MPI port. Is there a way to do communicate with S7 300 on MPI port using IFIX3.5 without simatic net software because i have simatic net 5.x which i could not install on windows 2000 pro and the client wants to use windows 2000 server. the simatic net 5.x is only compatible with win98 & winnt 4.0.
Please write in detail.

 

U can use the Siemens Prodave.

 

You can use iFix's OPC client to communicate with the S7's MPI port with the Applicom interface PCI1500S7. This product includes the Windows driver & applications, as well as the OPC server.

You can see the product's specification on the link below:
