node-snap7

npm Node version Test and Release npm

Current node-snap7 version: 1.0.7
Current snap7 version: 1.4.2

In my spare time I am working on a node-addon-api rewrite and want to switch from prebuild-install to prebuildify.
The current S7Server implementation has some bugs, please use with caution.

About

This is a node.js wrapper for snap7. Snap7 is an open source, 32/64 bit, multi-platform Ethernet communication suite for interfacing natively with Siemens S7 PLCs (See compatibility).

Installation

Install with:

npm install node-snap7

node-snap7 uses prebuild and prebuild-install for handling prebuilt binaries. See this list of supported prebuilt platform binaries. When installing node-snap7 prebuild-install will install prebuilt binaries from GitHub if they exist and fallback to a compile step if they don't.

If you don't want to use the prebuild for the platform you are installing on, specify the --build-from-source flag when you install.

For building from source you need the following requirements:

How to use

API

Client Example

var snap7 = require('node-snap7');

var s7client = new snap7.S7Client();
s7client.ConnectTo('192.168.1.12', 0, 1, function(err) {
    if(err)
        return console.log(' >> Connection failed. Code #' + err + ' - ' + s7client.ErrorText(err));

    // Read the first byte from PLC process outputs...
    s7client.ABRead(0, 1, function(err, res) {
        if(err)
            return console.log(' >> ABRead failed. Code #' + err + ' - ' + s7client.ErrorText(err));

        // ... and write it to stdout
        console.log(res)
    });
});

Server Example

var snap7 = require('node-snap7');

var s7server = new snap7.S7Server();

// Set up event listener
s7server.on("event", function(event) {
    console.log(s7server.EventText(event));
});

// Create a new Buffer and register it to the server as DB1
var db1 = new Buffer(100).fill('ÿ');
s7server.RegisterArea(s7server.srvAreaDB, 1, db1);

// Start the server
s7server.StartTo('127.0.0.1');

// Close the server after 20s in this example
setTimeout(function() {
    s7server.Stop();
    s7server.UnregisterArea(s7server.srvAreaDB, 1);
}, 20000);
