The AutoSPy analyzer, a tool for fast acquisition and evaluation of process data for fault diagnosis or optimization of automation systems, offers full support of the Step 7 TIA portal with its driver for Simatic S7-1200/1500 PLCs. The driver enables precise signal acquisition from a maximum of 16 PLCs simultaneously, with a freely adjustable sampling rate and without intervention in the PLC program. The signals can be selected directly from the PLC variables of the Step 7 TIA Portal projects; an additional export/import step is not necessary. Users do not have to switch off the optimized block access for the S7 data blocks or activate the insecure put/get communication between PLC and PC. Special configuration of the PLCs, as required by other error diagnosis programs, is not necessary.
