Hi!

Is there any way to change the PDU size of the S7 driver poll requests?

Hello,

I had a look at the options for the S7-driver, I could not find an option to change the PDU size.
Normally there is no need to change the PDU size.

Why do you want to modify it?

Hi Leopold,

I was trying to get WinCC OA to communicate with the Siemens PLCSIM. It seems to have a different protocol than a regular PLC so we used a software tool called Net2PLCSim for that and had to modify it to get the PDU size under the limit.

Anyway, pity WinCC OA does not support Siemens PLCSIM
