Siemens S7 & MQTT
The Siemens S7 1200/1500 PLC can natively communicate with any Cloud through the MQTT protocol
Siemens recently released the LMQTT_Client 2.2 FB (Function Block) for its S7 1200 and 1500 series PLCs.
LMQTT_Client function block embeds MQTT Client service in a reading and writing bidirectional way, so with both publisher and subscriber job.
Secure and encrypted communication is granted by TLS function.
Good, but not enough
The library only manages the connection with the broker. All the implementation of data management (source, structure, parsing) is missing. Stuff for geeks. And a lot of headache.
Don’t worry, the good news is not over yet
Our 3A Telecontrolli partners have developed an FB to manage the payload logic and structure.
Designed to be scalable and easy to use, written in LAD or SCL, tested and stressed. It is now available to be used and it’s time to squeeze the most out of it
The Var-to-Rilheva FB is all you need to complete an MQTT project on your S7.
