Why reading PLC data looks hard

Most plants run several PLC brands, generations and protocols side by side; a new S7-1500 can sit on the same line as a twenty-year-old controller. Reading PLC data means knowing each one’s protocol, addressing and data types, and doing it without risking production or touching the control program.

VOLSOFT takes this on as an integrator: we do not change the PLC program, we make the existing variables readable. Where needed, we agree with your automation team or the machine builder which addresses to read.

Native driver or OPC UA?

If the controller exposes an OPC UA server, that is usually the first choice: security and data types are standard. If it does not, or it needs a licence, the controller is read over its own protocol (S7comm, EtherNet/IP, MC protocol, FINS, ADS, FOCAS). The choice is made in discovery, from the controller generation, the network and the number of variables.
