dataFEED OPC Server Siemens

Easy High Performance Data Access to Siemens PLC's Including Optimised Data Blocks

dataFEED OPC Server Siemens is a dataFEED OPC Suite component and bundles the functionalities for fast and convenient access to process and diagnostic data in Siemens SIMATIC S7 and Siemens-compatible controllers. Use symbolic addressing to access optimised data blocks in S7-1200 and S7-1500 PLC's and configure the OPC address space by simply browsing the controllers.

As an OPC Classic Server (or optional OPC UA Server) dataFEED OPC Server Siemens enables the integration of Siemens SIMATIC controllers into modern Industry 4.0 solutions. Optionally, production data can be transferred via the MQTT or REST protocols to IoT Cloud or Big Data applications on Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Bosch PPM and Siemens MindSphere platforms.
