The deviceWISE Embedded for S7 software includes a user-friendly tool – the workbench – for the configuration and management of data.

This enables one or more deviceWISE modules to be addressed without any programming overhead.

The workbench offers a wide range of drag & drop mechanisms and enables trigger conditions to be defined. This significantly reduces the possibilities of errors when entering addresses or field names. In addition, it is possible in the workbench to process raw data into useful information and transport it from programmable controllers to databases or message queues in the IT environment of an enterprise.

deviceWISE Embedded for S7 offers the following functions:

Direct connection to the following SQL databases:

• IBM DB2
• IBM DB2/400 (for OS/400 systems)
