FETCH/WRITE services (server)
Application
The FETCH/WRITE functionality on the SEND/RECEIVE interface provides further services
on configured transport connections.
The FETCH/WRITE interface is used primarily to connect SIMATIC S7 to SIMATIC S5 and
to other nonS7 stations (for example PCs).
●
The partner on the connection (SIMATIC S5 or nonS7 station) can read system data on
the SIMATIC S7 PLC.
●
The partner on the connection (SIMATIC S5 or nonS7 station) can write system data to
the SIMATIC S7 PLC.
