S7 DB TAGS v 1.0 is rolling!
S7 DB TAGS GENERATOR decodes any S7-300/-400 datablocks in your Step7 project and generates a tag for each variable. It parses simple and complex types, arrays of structures, nested UDTs and so on.
No HMI / SCADA brand-bound ties! The utility outputs the data in Excel (XLS) or Comma Separated Values (CSV) format thus allowing a lot of flexibility in creating your own SCADA tags table. Run the S7 DB TAGS GENERATOR and then integrate the tags into WinCC, Intouch, Factory Link, Movicon, and many others. Useful also for your own proprietary HMI applications developed using VisualBasic, C++, Delphi, etc. and OPC connectivity.
S7 DB TAGS GENERATOR runs eithers as GUI application or as command line (can be called by your automated procedures).

S7 MODBUS BLOCKS for ASCII CPs or CPUs with on-board serial interface, updated version.
xCP Modbus is a set of blocks for both Modbus RTU Master and Modbus RTU Slave. With this library you will not need anymore high cost Siemens CP341/441 and its expensive driver dongle. The blocks allows you to run a Modbus link on CP340/440, PtP CPUs, ET200 CPs, Profibus serial cards (by WAGO, VIPA etc.) or even tunnelling over Ethernet!
Automation Humor
Who said that automation programmers are just geeks or nerds? They can even laugh on themselves, time to time!

Zombies (and “honey.exe”) are back!
Had to replace an old Win3.1 system running on a 486DX 50Mhz machine and to solve issues related to exceeding CPU power of the new PC I had to use my old DOS utility “honey.exe”, which I removed from this web site long ago. So I published and made it available for download once again, see the “useful stuff” page , PC utilities section.
