Ok, There is a problem with the connection to server 1. Have you checked NetPro? In NetPro, are the stations (PLC, OS servers) OK? That means that they do not have a orange background color? You can select the CPU and then "Activate connection status". You can see the active connections from that CPU. The state should be "Setup". Furthermore, You can do the following to test if the problem lies with the configuration of the station configurator: 1. Open Station Configurator and report back the text in the diagnostics file to me 2. In Simatic manager, go to your server 1 OS station (see attachment) and right click and then go to the configuration tab. In there is a location listed for a XDB file, which is the configuration file of your OS station. What you have to do is go to the server 1 and open station configurator and then click on "Import Station". 3. Find the multiproject on the ES and go to the folder where the import file is stored. Select the correct XDB file and see if the pencil shows a good status. 4. If so, the connection should be good and you should try to start the server in runtime to see if everything is ok. Let me know! |

Hi AlwintGru, Glad that I can help you! The reason I ask if there are orange blocks in NetPro is because orange means a change is made, but it is not compiled yet. Can you check the following things: - Is your PG/PC interface of the ES set to "PC Internal"? (It means your communicating through a virtual bus, so that your ES is able to communicate with different connection types - Is the name of the PC station in your multiproject the same as the station configurator on the server 1 shows? Also check server 2 - I forgot to add something. After selecting the server 1 station in your multi-project, you select PLC->Configure so the configuration settings are downloaded to your PC station. But what I forgot was that after that, you select PLC->Download to download the engineering configuration data. If your PLC is downloaded, you don't have to do that again. Server 2 must be good because it has connection, but you can check to be sure. Furthermore, you compiled the OS through "Named connections"? In tag management, under the protocol your communicating with (for example: Industrial Ethernet), you can right click->System parameters and then open tab: Unit you can see "Logical device name". In there you can select the protocol to communicate with, or set this automatically with the option: "Set automatically". Please check these settings also. |

Alwin, In NetPro, you have to configure the S7 connections from AS-OS1, AS-OS2. These are so called named connections. The PLC station have to know these connections, so you download these to your PLC. The PC stations must know also these connections, and this is done by PLC->Configure, PLC->Download. The next steps is to compile the OS over the named connections. Now, you have done this through Industrial Ethernet, which is not known to the OS servers. Please follow the steps in the manuals I uploaded. I think you should follow these steps in order to make sure that you configuration is OK. There are problems with it.

PS: When you compile the OS, you can see which AS programs (S7_program is the name of the AS program normally) have a connection with the corresponding OS. |

The configuration in Netpro is like this by the way |
