Gray-Box OPC Server for Siemens S7

[vk7dg]

Hi
Has any one found a relatively inexpensive OPC Server suitable for a low Tag count application with Siemens S7 / Vipa Speed 7 / Vipa 200V PLCs that will work well on AdvancedHMI. I downloaded Gray-Box and being Russian they don't seem to document much about how to build it. It has possibilities as in it's free form no time limits and max 100 tags which is ideal for small machine applications.

Does it work on AdvancedHMI?

I took a quick look at the Gray Box web site and I didn't see any actual OPC servers. The only thing I saw was a tool kit for developing an OPC server. Am I overlooking their Siemens Server?

Hi Archie

Yes well the toolkit does make it possible to build an opc server and they do state it supports Siemens S7 but no help to do that what so ever. I was wondering if anyone has any luck building it.

Just found some documentation so I will post my findings with it.

Cheers and thanks for a great little HMI Package.
