Our customer wants to use VAX-SIEMENS_S5 to communicate with a certain
Siemens system by means of the 3964R protocol.
The point is that they want the Siemens system to look at the VAX
as a "plc" device, i.e. the VAX as the "Slave".
Is it possible for a VAX running VAX-SIMATIC_S5 to act as a 3964R
"Slave" to receive data from the Siemens (computer) system?

VAX-SIMATIC_S5 is a high level programming interface to VMS
applications, to exchange data with SIMATIC_S5 systems.
----------
It supports write to and read from Simatic (initiated by the VAX) and
write to the VAX (initiated by Simatic, called unsolicited input).It
does not support "read from the VAX", (initiated by Simatic, called
unsolicited output).
The SIMATIC_S5 computer link protocol is based on the top of the 3964
line protocol. The computer link messages exchanged, also called
telegrams, can contain up to 128 bytes.
If your customer is looking for a 3964 protocol emulator only, the
ASSETS Library can supply you with some other packages like VAX
DECSicon or DUST3964/VMS.
For more information, please contact me directly on EICMFG::KRIEGL,
or DTN 773-3050.
