3.5.4 S7 Programming Interface
SAPI-S7 is the C programming interface for access to the S7
communications protocol on PGs/PCs.
The acronym SAPI-FMS stands for:
•
SAPI -

•
S7 layer 7 communications protocol for SIMATIC S7 systems.
SAPI-S7
•
Represents a simple C programming interface,
•
Provides access to the S7 services on PCs and PGs and
•
Is available as a C library and is operated with SIMATIC NET
drivers and SIMATIC NET communications processors.
The SAPI-S7 programming interface has the following advantages:
•
SAPI-S7 is a simple but flexible and powerful interface.
•
The SAPI-S7 programming interface uses asynchronous
procedures.
•
SAPI-S7 handles sequential services such as the active and
passive establishment of an S7 connection.
•
SAPI-S7 supports troubleshooting with an integrated trace function.
•
The SAPI-S7 programming interface is compatible with other SAPI
programming interfaces.
•
The SAPI-S7 programming interface can also be used by other
programs, for example BASIC or Pascal programs.
