This I/O interface is able to instantiate a Siemens S7 client through the Applicom Card to write and read configured data points of different types to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) as server which is simulated by Snap S7 server tool.
The Applicom S7 I/O interface cannot be configured with the I/O Interface Configuration GUI and hence requires two configuration files on the simulator: the *.io and APPLICOM_CFG.OPAL files.
Communications protocols can be configured in the I/O Interface Configuration tool that can be opened from HYPERSIM Ribbon Options.
For more information on the general use of the I/O Interface Configuration, see also I/O Interfaces.
