Extracting Tag Information From a Siemens .S7P Project File

It is possible that the source of your tag information has changed since you performed the tag extraction. If this is the case, you can rerun the Siemens S7 Discovery Agent to extract the tag information again. You can also use this feature to run the Siemens S7 Discovery Agent tool on a new source file.

To extract tag information from a Siemens .S7P project file:

  1. Launch the Discover and Auto Configure application. The Discovery Agent Selection Wizard appears.
  2. Click Next. The Select a Discovery Agent page appears.
  3. From the list, select the Siemens S7 Discovery Agent and click Next. The Select a Siemens S7P Project page appears.
  4. Enter the full path and file name of the .S7P project file you want to extract tag information from, or click the Browse button to locate the file you want.

NOTE: If the project files are located on a shared (mapped) drive on a remote machine, that shared drive must have the allow Read/Write/Modify/Full Control option enabled, otherwise the project cannot be opened.

  1. Click Next. The Summary page appears displaying a summary of the selections you made in the previous wizard pages.
  2. Click Finish. The Siemens S7 Discovery Agent extracts all of the tag information from the selected project file and displays it in the Discover and Auto Configure application.
