Siemens S7plus 1200/1500 Symbolic Tag Driver for McgsPro | MCGS G-series HMI
This is the Siemens S7plus 1200/1500 Symbolic Tag Driver (community name: Mcgs_1200G2 communication driver), an external component for McgsPro software only. It enables MCGS G-series HMI to communicate with Siemens S7‑1200, S7‑1500 and ET200SP CPU 1510SP by reading symbolic tag names directly, instead of absolute addresses.
- McgsPro software only

1. Software Requirement
McgsPro 3.3.6.6354 SP1.3 or newer
2. Supported PLC
Siemens S7-1200, S7-1500, ET200SP CPU 1510SP
3. Installation & TIA Portal Settings
Installation instructions:
1. Keep all files together in the same folder. Do not use only the dll file separately, otherwise the panel will fail to communicate after download.
2. Open McgsPro → Device Window → Device Component Manager → Install component, select siemens_s7plus_1200_1500_tag.dll to complete the installation.
3. After installation, you can select this tag driver in your project.
Important PLC settings in TIA Portal (common root cause of communication failure)
1. Tick Optimized block access for the DB blocks you want to read/write tags from.
2. Enable PUT/GET communication access for the PLC.
3. For ET200SP CPU 1510SP: Most successful installations use Rack = 0, Slot = 0 with this driver. Try other values if communication fails.

5. FAQ
Q: Can this driver work on TPC7062Ti? A: No. This driver is built for McgsPro only. Old TPC7062Ti uses MCGS embedded E7.7, incompatible.
Q: Does it support tag name communication? A: Yes. It reads symbolic tag names, which requires Optimized block access enabled in TIA Portal DB.
