Siemens S5 OPC Server

Kepware's 32 bit Siemens S5 device driver works in conjunction with the OPC Server KEPServerEX, to provide data exchange between OPC Clients and Siemens S5 PLCs using AS511 protocol. The AS511 Protocol allows a direct connection to the programming port of the PLC. The programming port utilizes a Current Loop connection requiring the use of either the supplied programming cable or an external RS-232 to Current Loop converter. The Driver Manual contains a wiring diagram and recommendations for Current Loop converters. KEPServerEX automatically optimizes your data acquisition based on client demand. Data integrity is ensured with our extensive error handling.
