With the new update of ACCON-AGLink there is a new supported operating system. From version 6.0.1.0, you can also communicate with Siemens PLCs from the Raspberry Pi single-board computer. Also brand new: The Windows Single license Pro, which contains all modules, including the SINUMERIK AddOn.
Using Raspberry Pi for PLC access
Reading data from a controller or writing data to a controller is relatively easy with normal computers and common operating systems. However, support for the small single-board computers is rather rare. At DELTA LOGIC you can now purchase a developer license for Raspberry Pi for individual communication between PC and PLC.
The available modules for developer licenses are:
- S7-PB for communication via Profibus
- S7-TCP/IP for data exchange via TCP/IP and classic access
- S7-TCP/IP TIA in combination with S7-SymbolikPro TIA for symbolic access via TCP/IP
For developer licenses, there is also a maintenance contract for all modules, which includes premium support and software update service (SUS). This means that you receive all new updates during the term of the maintenance contract. A maintenance contract is mandatory for the TIA modules.
Add Linux to your Raspberry Pi license at low cost
For a small additional fee, you can extend the modules of your Raspberry Pi developer license with the corresponding modules for standard Linux. You can also upgrade your existing Linux developer license to a Raspberry Pi license if required. Are you interested in one of these options? Then please write to us using our contact form, quoting your existing license number.
