The ES is connected to the Plant Bus via CP-1613. We want to connect a laptop PG in this configuration for communication with the PLC. Hence, we have to connect it to the plant bus via its own onboard network adaptor. Also from the laptop PG, we want to access the same project residing on the ES. But in the plant bus, it is not being possible to access the ES using TCP/IP. Please suggest whether such application is possible and if possible what configuration topology is to be followed. For your reference I have attached a schematic of the configuration. Attachment Configuration.JPG (340 Downloads)

There're some additional things for check/setting, more information can be found here. Regards Sydney

During installation of PCS7 V7.0 SP2,PCS7_V70SP1_Package_SN-CP-1623_V1.exe was already installed. Hence I need not install it separately on OS Server. On the ES, under the Network Connections CP1613's are detected as SIMITIC CP1613 NDIS Adapter and On the OS Server under the Network adaptors CP1623's are detected as SIMATIC Miniport CP1623 PCIe Adapter. Also we have followed the steps as mentioned in the link you have provided. We have done similar type of settings on both OS Server (SIMATIC Miniport CP1623 PCIe Adaptor) and ES (SIMATIC CP1613 NDIS Adapter)aswell asadditional windows settings, as mentioned in that link. We have given separate IP addresses for NDIS of CP1613/1623and normal CP1613/1623 (for same address on both NDIS and normalthere was conflict as seen from SIMATIC NET Configuration Console). Now from the Laptop PG it is being possible to connect to the ES via the Plant Bus. Please suggest what further settings are to be done.

If the network is working it seems that it's enough, of course you have to set up the user rights and accessess on computers. Regards Sydney

But on the contrary, in our case, it never pings from the ES to the Laptop PG and also sometime the laptop PG could not ping to the ES. They also can not see one another on the workgroup. Pleasesuggest me what could be the problem. [schnippschnapp]

Did you use the IP address of the server as a default gateway? I'm not used to work with a redundant network so I'm not sure how it's goingin this case where your PG is connected to one of the network as described in picture . I hope somebody else here will come with a solution/suggestion. Regards Sydney
