Hi all,

I am trying to download to a computer running WinCC remotely through a Tosibox VPN connection.

I am unable to change the PG/PC interface in the download window to select the correct network adapter:

- The remote machine is in transfer mode.
- We are on the same subnet.
- Siemens relevant protocols are enabled for the Tosibox network card.
- PG/PG interface in the control panel is set to Tosibox.

I've had this issue before but cannot remember what the solution was. I seem to remember that there was a possibility to select a different download window, and that this download window had the possibility to select a different interface for the download, but all download options (extended etc..) lead to the same image as you see here.

The remote machine is shown under available devices, and I can download to the PLC without issues.

Any suggestions?

Hello

Do you want to download A WinCC Advanced Runtime is this correct?

If yes then select the Advanced RT in the project tree not the IPC/PC.

You will need only to download the PC Station if you use a Simatic Net Konfiguration (only for RT Advanced you will not need!).

Show please also a screenshot of your PC Station in Hardware view.

Do you have used a IE General Ethernet Adapter or a special IPC type?

(And also disconnect all online connections to PLCs or similar before you do a download)

If nothing works you can also use an offline download of the WinCC:

Hi Murof,

Thanks a lot for your support.

Do you want to download A WinCC Advanced Runtime is this correct?

- Yes.

If yes then select the Advanced RT in the project tree not the IPC/PC.

- Result is the same:

It does not matter if I select the download button on the ribbon or extended download from the online menu.

You will need only to download the PC Station if you use a Simatic Net Konfiguration (only for RT Advanced you will not need!).

Show please also a screenshot of your PC Station in Hardware view.

Do you have used a IE General Ethernet Adapter or a special IPC type?

- Not sure what you mean. I am using a Tosibox VPN. PG/PC interface is changed in the control panel settings, but I am unable to select that interface for downloading in TIA portal.

(And also disconnect all online connections to PLCs or similar before you do a download)
- Done.

I will open a support request.

Hello AutoGen_3114983

go to the properties of your IPC in the project-> PC-Station -> use not installed

If here is a S7-RTM is activated then the system expects that you are using a Simatic Net Configuration on the IPc
