We have several S7 systems connected with FBM230 and even one redundant S7
with FBM231, standard Modbus protocol, not latest FBM driver (no FBM
224-like options, so it needs contiguous modbus addressing on the Siemens
side (no gaps, or fill these with dummies).
Need special modbus license dongle on the Siemens communication card!

As long as it's standard Modbus, it should work. I tried serial FDSI to S7 a
couple years ago, but their "standard" Modbus was anything but - the
integrator wrote his own Modbus because he thought that Siemens charged too
much for its driver. We had to use FBM224 to make it work. At any rate, if
you can set up a bench test, you should have no trouble. The new FDSI Modbus
driver allows for FBM224-like configuration.

Interesting ..... I should be trying this in Lab before too long as
Siemens S7 is our PLC of choice.
From what I saw on the AB side (we talk to a Solar Turbine using a
ProSoft TCP/IP module) it is standard RTU Modbus and didn't require any
special drivers.

A little off subject, but maybe a good time to throw this out. Has
anyone used the FBM232 to talk TCP/IP to Siemens S7 PLCs? Does Foxboro
support and provide software for communicating with Siemens S7s or only
the Rockwell AB stuff?
