snap7-server

In-process S7 PLC simulator for testing and development. Pure Rust — no FFI, no native C dependency. Responds to real S7Comm read/write requests over TCP.

Part of the rs-snap7 workspace.

Use cases

Unit / integration tests without a physical PLC
CI pipelines
Local development

Quick start

use snap7_server::{S7Server, ServerConfig, DataStore};
use std::net::SocketAddr;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Pre-seed data block 1
    let store = DataStore::new();
    store.write_bytes(1, 0, &[0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF]);

    let cfg = ServerConfig {
        bind_addr: "127.0.0.1:10200".parse()?,
        max_connections: 8,
    };
    let server = S7Server::bind(cfg).await?;
    println!("listening on {}", server.local_addr()?);

    server.serve(store).await?;
    Ok(())
}

Ephemeral port (tests)

let cfg = ServerConfig {
    bind_addr: "127.0.0.1:0".parse()?,  // OS assigns a free port
    max_connections: 4,
};
let server = S7Server::bind(cfg).await?;
let addr = server.local_addr()?;
tokio::spawn(server.serve(store));

// connect snap7-client to `addr`

API

Type	Purpose
`S7Server`	Binds TCP socket, accepts connections
`ServerConfig`	`bind_addr` + `max_connections`
`DataStore`	Thread-safe in-memory data block store; read/write by `(db, offset)`

Notes

Implements TPKT / COTP / S7Comm handshake and dispatch.
Supports multi-item read/write (ReadVar / WriteVar).
Does not implement S7CommPlus, SZL, or block upload — those return protocol errors.
