The Challenges of Traditional PLC Communication:

For engineers working with Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs, communication limitations can hinder efficiency. Traditional methods using MPI/DP/PPI ports often involve:

  • Limited network reach: Confined to physical connections.
  • Incompatibility with existing networks: Requires separate cables and interfaces.
  • Complex setup: Manual configuration can be time-consuming.
