Hello everyone. 

I am not able to download my program to PLCSIM Advanced. 

The check before loading ends up with a 'Differences between configured and targeted modules' error. You can see the full error in the attachment, the module 6ES7 SIM-01500-APLC is the article number of the Simulation CPU, and 'R28.31.8' is its firmware verison.

I've seen similar cases posted on the forum, but they were all unresolved and very old, so I'm hoping someone might have some fresh ideas. 

Thank you in advance,

Izabella

Hi Izabella,

you have configured a ET200SP CPU (1512SP) but in PLCSIM a regular CPU-1500 ist set.

Please change the PLCSIM instance to a ET200SP (screenshot attached).

SIMATIC S7-1500 S7-PLCSIM Advanced V3.0

- Supported CPUs

Maybe this helps.

I'm not sure if this works for you in PLCSim 3.0, i'm using 4.0.

Can you try starting a new Virtual PLC, but now instead of an unspecified CPU 1500(Under the PLC Type) try using ET-200SP.

That worked, thank you both.

Can you tell me why do I have to simulate an ET200SP when I'm working on a CPU 1512?
