Sigma S7 GET & S7 PUT AOI's Ethernet Software
Download and trial the S7 GET & S7 PUR AOI's to communicate with Siemens S7 PLC's. A 24 hour demonstration mode is supported by the Sigma AOI's. The demonstration mode can be restarted when it expires by restarting the Rockwell CPU.
Develop your communication strategy and fully test in the demonstration mode. Purchase your runtime licence when you are satisfied with the solution.
This is a software solution which utilises the existing Ethernet capabilities of the Siemens PLC system you wish to connect. No hardware gateway is required.
The Manual and instruction videos provide the guidance to easy connect a Rockwell PLC with a Communications Processor to a Siemens S7 PLC using Ethernet.
Sigma Rockwell AOI is a great choice
-
Cost-sensitive projects: With a lower purchase price and minimal installation requirements, the AOI provides a highly cost-effective communication solution, particularly when the number of data points is not massive.
-
Simple data exchange: For applications requiring the exchange of a moderate number of data points, such as transferring recipes or status information, the AOI's performance is exceptional.
-
Simplified architecture: The AOI leverages existing PLC hardware and software, reducing network complexity and eliminating a separate piece of hardware to manage and troubleshoot.
-
Faster implementation: The software-based approach, which uses a familiar programming environment (Studio 5000), drastically reduces engineering time and effort.
-
Lower maintenance: Eliminating a separate hardware device reduces potential points of failure and simplifies long-term maintenance. Troubleshooting is done within the PLC's environment, streamlining diagnostics.
-
Standardised solutions: For systems where code standardisation is a priority, AOIs can be a powerful tool for encapsulating and reusing logic across multiple projects.
