Does Nodlyn support Siemens S7?

Compatibility answer

Yes — at the protocol level. Nodlyn ships Siemens S7 blocks in the connector library; you point them at your host or broker.

Use the S7 connector with the PLC IP and rack/slot from TIA Portal.

What Siemens S7 support means in Nodlyn

Siemens S7-1200 and S7-1500 families are reachable over S7comm with IP, rack, and slot from TIA Portal. Nodlyn’s S7 nodes poll or write those tags so operators can alert, log, or gate actions without embedding SCADA scripts in every machine.

LOGO! and older S7-300/400 behave differently — if your exact CPU is not listed, use the request form on /protocols and we confirm. Runtime agents keep the poll loop on the factory PC even when Studio is closed.
