Hi there

6GK1561-1AA00 card for Step7 PLC connection with desktop PC with
windows xp

having problems connecting our PC with this card to the mother board
after going into windows systems the card can be seen but with a
yellow question mark over it

have updated motherboards chipset drivers this never worked

have swapped the into two other PCs this never worked

is there any tests which can be performed on the card to indicate it
is working

If you want to use the CP5611A2 for PG/OP communication, (i.e. with one of the follwing software STEP7, STEP7-Micro/Win, ProTool, ProTool/Pro, SIMATICPDM, or WinCC flex.)m you do not have to order any software. You can install its driver from Simatic Net. Just install the requested software and it will work.

could i use the PC adapter to usb.zip file instead of using the ethernet card then could ignore the card altogether and save ordering new card

looking forward to your reply

thanks

Thanks for getting back to me Aayman

we are running aS7- programme to operate a winch and some other operationswith a 200 display

there is a pc toobserve and maintain the machinery and PLC units

there was a problem with the computer so removed theprofibus card and popped it in another PC installed the seimens masterdrives software but the profibus card 6GK1561-1AA00 is not being recgonised by the new computer it was running windows 2000 but has since been upgraded to XP hoping this would solve the problem

Drivemoniter v5.1 is running
and it is running on windows 2000 not windowsxp as previously stated

took some screen shots but don't think the internet police here are letting upload

there is a yellow question mark then sub menu network controller has a yellow question mark with a yellow exclamation mark over it

the next screen shot was of SIMATIC NET dianognotics -CP5611(PROFIBUS)

whether the resourcesare available

there was another screen grab of the SIMATIC Manager - accessible nodes

cyan colouredupper box
with aopen folder withaccessible nodes ( with no nodes present )

this seems quite a mish mash of informationif the screen grabs worked it would have been better
with diagnostics cp5611 ( profibus) was the only one where there was no erroron the test

hopefully this information will help finding a conclusion

thanks for yourtime
