deviceWISE Embedded Edition for SIMATIC S7
2
■
Overview
•
deviceWISE Embedded for S7 is a software package that can
be loaded into the CP 343-1 ERPC communications
processor as a firmware extension
•
It facilitates intelligent and direct communication from the
S7-300 to IT applications at the management level
(e.g. databases)
•
No programming is required in SIMATIC
■
Benefits
•
High-speed integration of machine controllers into IT applica-
tions, e.g. reading or writing to databases by means of param-
eterization without any programming effort in the S7-300
•
Reliable delivery of critical process data by means of store &
forward functionality as well as in-built local database.
•
Complex preprocessing of data in the PLC with numerous
trigger options
•
Supports standard protocols such as OPC UA or XML-DA
directly from the PLC
■
Application
deviceWISE Embedded for S7 offers the database interface of
the SIMATIC S7 with CP 343-1 ERPC to various ERP or MES sys-
tems for vertical integration.
Database communication
deviceWISE Embedded for S7 establishes direct connections
from the PLC to the leading database systems. The user can
perform a host of operations on the linked databases, such as:
•
Documentation of production data in the database
•
Updating of existing entries, e.g. recording and saving new
data as the production of a component progresses
•
Retrieval of data from the database, e.g. recipes or configu-
ration data for the current production
Message-queue communication
The software enables the user to communicate directly with the
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and transfer data from the control-
ler to applications in the enterprise IT system. Messages can be
sent and received in ASCII or XML. User-specific data formats
can also be defined.
Device communication
deviceWISE Embedded for S7 is used predominantly for com-
munication with enterprise applications. In addition, the software
can establish connections to other automation devices and
transfer data from other PLC systems, RFID readers, or cameras
into the data area of the S7-CPU. This is done via the backplane
bus and enables flexible mapping of data from the widest variety
of devices into the data blocks of the PLC.
