( just download to the station. the system will take the addresses automatically)

Do not configure the Terminal Bus network (whether the ES, OS Server, OS Client, OS Web Server, etc.) in SIMATIC Manager/Hardware Configuration Tool. For Terminal Bus configuration use SIMATIC Shell (accessable from Windows Explorer). In SIMATIC Shell just select the appropriate Ethernet card/adaptor that is connected to the Terminal Bus. Also, make sure the Terminal Bus network card/adaptor is at the top of the windows binding order/list. cabreytj
