1. Remote control of S7-1200 RTU with PCS 7 TeleControl (IEC protocol)
 (5/22/2015) [109475749]

   Technological plants can stretch over large expanses, especially in
   the water and waste water sectors. Storm water tanks may be
   connected to a central sewage plant through a channel system
   spanning kilometers. Remote control systems such as PCS 7
   TeleControl integrate such remote terminal units directly into the
   high-level control system.

   65535 with the SIMATIC S7-1200 via Modbus RTU?
 (5/6/2015) [109474481]

   With Service Pack 1 of STEP 7 V13 (TIA Portal) the instruction
   "Modbus_Master" is made available for the SIMATIC S7-1200.
   In addition to the functions of the instruction "MB_MASTER", this
   permits reading out of the extended address range (9999 - 65535) of
   the input words (function code 04) of a Modbus slave.
