SIMATIC S7+ Connector: Send PLC Data to Industrial Edge

Why SIMATIC S7+ Connector?

By leveraging the modular and interoperable Industrial Edge system, customers can reduce data integration, as standardized components, reusable configuration elements, and unified connectivity services significantly streamline the setup and maintenance of data pipelines.

The SIMATIC S7+ Connector is a southbound connector designed for high performance data communication with SIMATIC S7-1200, S7-1500 PLCs, PLCSim Advanced, and the Siemens Software Controller within the Industrial Edge ecosystem. It reads and writes PLC data with a strong focus on throughput and low latency and publishes this data to the Industrial Information Hub (IIH) or the Industrial Edge Databus.

Reduced Integration Effort

Cuts data‑integration workload by up to 30% via standardized components, unified configuration, and reusable connectivity patterns across Industrial Edge pipelines.

High‑Performance PLC Connectivity

Provides reliable access to OT data with secure, optimized throughput and low latency for Industrial Edge, enabling responsive applications and real‑time insights.

Scalable and Flexible Architecture

Supports multiple PLC environments - including virtual PLCs - while seamlessly integrating with IIH or Edge Databus to scale shopfloor data strategies.
