Siemens S7 Input Plugin

This plugin reads metrics from Siemens PLCs via the S7 protocol.

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Plugin for retrieving data from Siemens PLCs via the S7 protocol (RFC1006)
[[inputs.s7comm]]
  ## Parameters to contact the PLC (mandatory)
  ## The server is in the <host>[:port] format where the port defaults to 102
  ## if not explicitly specified.
  server = "127.0.0.1:102"
  rack = 0
  slot = 0

  ## Timeout for requests
  # timeout = "10s"

  ## Log detailed connection messages for debugging
  ## This option only has an effect when Telegraf runs in debug mode
  # debug_connection = false

  ## Metric definition(s)
  [[inputs.s7comm.metric]]
    ## Name of the measurement
    # name = "s7comm"

    ## Field definitions
    ## name    - field name
    ## address - indirect address "<area>.<type><address>[.extra]"
    ##           area    - e.g. be "DB1" for data-block one
    ##           type    - supported types are (uppercase)
    ##                     X  -- bit, requires the bit-number as 'extra'
    ##                           parameter
    ##                     B  -- byte (8 bit)
    ##                     C  -- character (8 bit)
    ##                     W  -- word (16 bit)
    ##                     DW -- double word (32 bit)
    ##                     I  -- integer (16 bit)
    ##                     DI -- double integer (32 bit)
    ##                     R  -- IEEE 754 real floating point number (32 bit)
    ##                     DT -- date-time, always converted to unix timestamp
    ##                           with nano-second precision
    ##                     S  -- string, requires the maximum length of the
    ##                           string as 'extra' parameter
    ##           address - start address to read if not specified otherwise
    ##                     in the type field
    ##           extra   - extra parameter e.g. for the bit and string type
    fields = [
      { name="rpm",             address="DB1.R4"    },
      { name="status_ok",       address="DB1.X2.1"  },
      { name="last_error",      address="DB2.S1.32" },
      { name="last_error_time", address="DB2.DT2"   }
    ]

    ## Tags assigned to the metric
    # [inputs.s7comm.metric.tags]
    #   device = "compressor"
    #   location = "main building"

Example Output

s7comm,host=Hugin rpm=712i,status_ok=true,last_error="empty slot",last_error_time=1611319681000000000i 1611332164000000000

Metrics

The format of metrics produced by this plugin depends on the metric configuration(s).
