Full Range of Controller Types Supported
OAS supports a wide range of Siemens controllers through native Siemens controller software integration. This includes:
S7-200
S7-1200
S7-300
S7-1500
S7-400
The result is optimized performance and easy setup using familiar Siemens PLC software and Siemens SCADA software tools.
Reliability
Adjustable timeouts and automatic recovery processes help maintain reliable connections. In the event of a network failure, the system can automatically switch to a backup controller. These features are critical for maintaining uptime in software SCADA Siemens environments.
Direct I/O, Memory, and Data Block Access
You can directly access Inputs, Outputs, Memory Bits, Variable Memory, Counters, Timers, and Data Blocks using absolute addressing. This is especially useful for advanced configurations involving software for Siemens PLC applications.

High Speed Performance
The platform supports high-speed parallel processing with updates as fast as 15 milliseconds. With the ability to manage up to 1,000,000 tags per server, OAS delivers the throughput needed for high-performance Siemens HMI software systems.
Data Accuracy
OAS processes data in a first-in, first-out (FIFO) manner. This ensures no data is skipped, which is essential when using a Siemens IoT gateway or building detailed historical records with SCADA tools.
Common Use Cases
Logging Data to Databases or CSV Files
Use the OAS Data Historian to log data from Siemens S7 controllers into SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and others. This logging can be triggered by changes in the data, specific events, or continuously. The system also supports logging high-speed buffered data from a controller. Learn more.
Data Transfer
The Data Route feature helps transfer data between Siemens S7 controllers and various Industry 4.0 data sources. It supports continuous or event-based transfers. The Siemens connector software also works with Basic and Live Data Cloud Networking tools to ensure smooth communication across your local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), or the Internet. Learn more.
User Interface
Create Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for Siemens controller data using the cross-platform UIEngine without any coding required. It includes drag-and-drop tools and supports Web Trend and Web Alarm products.
OAS works with Siemens HMI software and offers support for: WinForm HMI, WPF HMI, and Web HMI, as well as programmatic access through the .NET Data Connector and OAS REST API. These options allow you to seamlessly integrate Siemens data with your existing legacy applications. Learn more about the UIEngine
