s7netplus

A .NET Library for Siemens S7 Connectivity

Overview

S7.Net Plus is a continuation of the work done on the S7.Net project by Juergen1969. I found the library simple and effective, but the project has languished unchanged since late 2009.

I was doing some automation work already and saw a few places where the code base could be improved. Because Juergen did not respond to my request for committing code, I decided to pick up where he left off here on GitHub.

Latest build (Appveyor)

Build status https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mesta1/s7netplus

Running the tests

Unit tests use Snap7 server, so port 102 must be not in use. If you have Siemens Step7 installed, the service s7oiehsx64 is stopped when running unit tests. You have to restart the service manually if you need it.
