Hello guys, hope you're all fine.

I'm using Step7 professional v13 SP1 and facing a very annoying problem when trying to simulate my program. It was working before installing SP1 ! .

I have no problem when compiling hardware and software, it's all good. but I can't use the simulation because of the errors shown in the attached pic.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

See this TIA Portal simulation for S7-300 thread. Check the Simatic Net.

I hope I could help!

Thanks brother for your reply.

I searched the forum before asking but didn't know how to implement the suggested solutions.

please can you tell me how to check Simatic NET and how to shutdown opc server (someone said shutting down it worked for him) ?

khale,

you are looking for it in TIA portal window - you'll not find it there. If you're working in Windows 7, click Start, and then in search window type "Communication Settings". See attachment.

Hope this helps.

I found it in control panel but didn't find SIMATIC NET Configuration. It looks like this (see pic)

 Which software you install

-Step7 v13

-Wincc v13

...

If you dont install wincc v13 i think it not have simatic net , and i think it's not your problem

Try system restore, reinstall program ...

You know, that for a CPU 300 / 400 you need PLCSIM V5.4 SP6, but not PLCSIM V13...?
