Friends,
Simple question. Is it possible to access S7 project tags as OPC items in S7-PLCSIM Simulation environment & Simatic Net ? (Everything is on Desktop & no piece of Siemens hardware)
If I am not clear, let me explain what I am trying to do with Siemens that I have already done with AB in no time. ( Of course I am AB guy )
Softwares: RSLogix 500 programming software, RS Linx Professional, RSLogix Emulate 500 & Wonderware SCADA (it can be any HMI software of even MS Excel). That's it ........all thing set up & working in harmony I could simulate/ access RSLogix 500 project tags in SCADA software or an OPC client to be more precise.
I am getting a feeling that Siemens would not support this thing without WinCC,WinCC Flex or ProTool. I will be happy to be proved wrong. (I already went through few posts on this site which talks about CP 5611 and other things ....but hey I want it without any hardware !!)
Cheers,
