Configuring a Simatic S7 Scanner
A Simatic S7 Scanner is logical functionality that runs within Geo SCADA Expert and scans for data on a Simatic S7-200, S7-300, or S7-400 series PLC.
Configure the Scanner features using the fields on the Simatic S7 Scanner Form.
The Form has several tabs.
Use the fields on the Scanner tab to Configure the Scanner Properties.
Use the fields on the Primary Connection and Secondary Connection tabs to specify the network connection properties, should the scanner use ISO over TCP communications (see Configure the Connection Properties).
For fields on other tabs, see Tabs That are Common to Many Configuration Forms in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Simple Drivers.
For information on the minimal amount of configuration that you can undertake to produce a functional Simatic S7 Scanner in Geo SCADA Expert, see Minimum Configuration.
