Drivers

The S7 TIA symbolic is no longer supported. Instead use the new S7Plus driver for communication with S7-1200 and S7-1500 devices. Old version projects with TIA connections configured for the S7 driver can be migrated to the S7Plus driver with the S7 TIA Symbolic Migration panel.

The PROFIsafe / PROFINET driver cannot be installed on the supported Linux operating systems due to dependencies to the Kernel.

Following DPEs were removed from the _S7Config DP:

• IPAddress
• Rack
• Slot
• Timeout
• ConnectionType
• TSPPExtras
• ProtocolExtras

Following DPEs were removed from the _S7Conn DP:

• DevNr
• ReduConn.DevNr
• ReduCP.DevNr
• ReduCP.ReduConn.DevNr

Following new DPEs were added to the _S7Conn DP:

• Address
• ReduConn.Address
• ReduCP.Address
• ReduCP.ReduConn.Address

Note:

These new DPEs contain the IPAddress, Rack, Slot, Timeout, ConnectionType, TSPPExtras, ProtocolExtras parameters encoded as JSON string for each S7 connection.

They replace the formerly used DPEs of the DPs _S7Config and _S7Conn.
