A NEW APP, THE FUNCTIONS YOU KNOW • All the functions and tabs of previous versions are kept: pushbutton panel, manual commands, variables, alarms, point tables, PLC links, CPU status, date and time, backup and sharing • Updating keeps your connections, tables, options and purchases; backups made with iS7 can be restored SUPPORTED PLCS CPUs of the S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200 and S7-1500 families and LOGO!, reachable on the network through ISO on TCP (RFC 1006). S7-1200 and S7-1500 need PUT/GET access enabled and DBs without optimized access. IN-APP PURCHASE Alarm management on real PLCs is available as an in-app purchase. Whoever has already bought it keeps it. SAFETY S7 Link can write to PLCs and act on machinery in operation. Use it with care and at your own risk, and do not rely on it for safety functions. In the background, iOS decides when alarms are checked, and it can be hours apart. Requires iOS 26 or later. Siemens, SIMATIC and S7 are trademarks of Siemens AG.
