Hi, my friends well i have a little problem with the comunication from WinCC Flexible Runtime how Panel PC to the CPU 312 2DP,firts my project is integrated Step 7V5.3 SP3with WinCC Flexible Advance 2005i have a card PROFIBUS CP 5611 A2 model 6GK1-561-1AA01i can read and watch the PLC but the grafics in runtime no change bit no change colors, i checkedmy tabletags and don´t change the bit neither,i force the bit and don´t see some change,my links are ok, the address of devices are ok¡¡ i think to could the card cause in the configurationhardwareofpanelpc in Step 7when i wanna found the card CP 5611 A2model 6GK1-561-1AA01isn´t in the catalog, So I select one card CP 5611 model 6Gk1-561-1AA00 but i know is the card incorrect So my cuestion is:Where i canDownload the drive CP 5611 A2model 6GK1-561-1AA01? orWhat i can do?

thanks¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Ing. Charles Lopez

Hi,

Have you installed the Simatic Net software which was delivered with your winCC flexible?

Simatic Net (or SoftNet) has the drivers your PC needs to comunicate correctly, this is of course when you haven't installed STEP7 on that same PC.

Simatic Net also installs a Station Configurator where you can configure the PC as it is defined in your STEP7 project configuration.

Good luck.

Hi Jesper,

You're absolutely right about that, I haven't done the configurating part with Profibus or MPI very much lately.

Thanks for correcting.

"hi.
wellin step 7 i have integrated wincc flexible advanced ok? So when i try to dothe configure of hardwarein the WinCC Station PC(iused how panelmy pc inruntime and integrated on project), i want to put in the configuration the card CP5611 A2 ins´t in the catalog only is CP5611.

So when i open de runtime of wincc flexible i need the comunication between runtime andCPU 315 2 DP. the CPU has include the program finished, in runtime i have bottoms that when i click cpu wouldchange bit and color depended configuration bottoms on wincc, this i done with MP 370 12" key,but now i want to dowith the PC how panel in runtime, only change the bitwhen i change thescreen and back¡¡

for that i thougth the card CP5611is the problem because in the hardware in step7 of WinCC PC station is incorrect beacuse i can´t found in catalog CP5611 A2

i hope to stand me ¡¡¡
thanks"

Hi Charles López,

In the configurators you just use the CP5611, because forSTEP7 and other Simatic products there is no difference betwee the CP5611 and the CP5611 A2. See als this link.
