Connecting S7-1200 to HMI/SCADA with PSDirect

Hello Yudhi,

Yes, connecting an S7-1200 PLC to HMI/SCADA systems using PSDirect is possible. PSDirect leverages the native OPC UA server within the S7-1200, eliminating the need for additional configuration in many cases.

Here are some resources to help you get started:

Regarding "RUN P mode" - the S7-1200 operates differently from the S7-300. It does not have a dedicated "RUN P" mode. Program control is managed through the PLC's operating modes (STOP, IDLE, RUN).

Best regards,
Siemens Self Support
