S7 Agent

This agent is registered on Windows with vif-agent-s7.

Uses Tia Portal Openness to compile some code in Tia Portal.

INFO

Since Openness is a Windows executable, it can't be installed on Linux.

However if an instance is waiting for a request, any device can send a network request to the agent.

init-vif can set up a dev environment with this provider.

This program will check if Tia Portal is running on your computer and attempt to compile Vif output.

It accepts one of the following arguments:

A link               https:///www.yourlink.com/program.json
A file path          "C:Path\Folder\program.json"
A json object        "{ "file://myblock": { ... } }"
--web                Waits for post

When --web is used, it will boot a small web server, creates an access token and waits for a client to receive data.

WARNING

--web will always launch a web sever with a localhost url, it can only be accessed inside a local network.

For security reasons, init-vif won't install this agent automatically.
