Siemens Plus Suite

Product Overview

The Siemens Plus Suite bundles Kepware’s Siemens drivers with the OPC UA Client driver and the Siemens S7 Plus Ethernet driver for users’ convenience. It provides an easy, secure, and reliable way to connect Siemens Ethernet and Serial-based PLCs and devices to client applications, including HMI/SCADA, MES/Historian, ERP, IoT, and custom OPC client applications.

In addition to the features supported in the standard Siemens Suite, the Siemens Plus Suite includes connectivity to Siemens S7-1200 and S7-1500 controllers via the OPC UA Client driver or via the native Siemens S7 Comm Plus protocol. Supporting symbolic addressing and optimized data blocks.

The Siemens Plus Suite is especially helpful for Manufacturing Industry users who utilize Siemens S7-1500 controllers and other Siemens products in their machining and molding, process, assembly, robotics, packaging, and material handling process phases.

With the Siemens Plus Suite, users can utilize the world-class connectivity features and tools available while retaining the Siemens S7-1500’s performance and security.
