Note

This catalog entry contains non-binding information on a supplementary application software for the SIMATIC S7-1500 software controller and the SIMATIC ET 200SP open controller.

Overview

With the function blocks of the ODK 1500S XML Data Access driver it is possible to access specific information in XML files in the Windows file system from the PLC program.

XPath expressions are used for accessing XML file elements since they provide the highest possible flexibility for processing XML data. This means that extremely large XML files can be edited, too.

The driver offers the following functionality:

• XML data can be read into and processed in the PLC.
• XML data can be modified and written back to the XML file.
