S7CanOpener for Siemens S7-300/400 blocks sets or removes protection from S7 block compiled with the KNOW_HOW_PROTECT keyword
DB RAW DATA TRANSFER
Get rid of variables' name loss due to different timestamping! Magically merge type declaration and binary contents in a minute!
The S7DBrawData tool copies the binary contents of Simatic S7-300/-400 data blocks regardless of the variables' type or timestamping value.
S7 DB INITIALIZER
Set DataBlock's "initial value" fields by using current data.
A long-requested feature not yet available in Step-7 software. S7DBinitializer sets datablocks' initial values by using the current values stored in the DB.
Tools for developers
Need to check Inputs/Outputs on field?
Your virtual, speaking assistant!
An assistant who helps you in testing S7 PLCs’ digital inputs and outputs.
Need to be warned in case of specific events?
Yet another virtual, speaking assistant! S7 Speaking Events, an event-driven assistant who actually warns you when something happens.
Send data from a common PC joystick to an S7 PLC!
Common, off-the-shelf joysticks offer a cheap interface.
S7joystick is useful for the commissioning of generic industrial manipulators and other applications.
Have your alarms spoken!
The S7AlarmSpeaker is a simple, tiny application that reads alarm flags from S7-300/-400 PLCs and speak custom messages on your PC by using standard MS Windows' multimedia system.
