8.3 and Siemens S7+ Driver

Ignition

I have setup a few dozen Siemens PLC connections using IA driver and device OPCUA servers. I watched a lot of ICC and am curious about details of the Siemens S7+ driver.

Can anyone answer the following Siemens PLC questions relative to the new S7+ driver coming with 8.3:

Will the new driver be 1200/1500 only?
Will the device still need to have get/put enabled?
Will DBs be required to have optimized access turned off?

No, it also has an absolute addressing mode that will work with S7-300 and S7-400 as well. Symbolic access is only for S7-1200 and S7-1500 though.

Not in symbolic mode.

How much will be browsable?

All the stuff you can access in symbolic mode is browsable, the tag area, DBs, etc...

Thank for for the information.

I will do research on symbolic mode so I can ask more questions when I have them.
