Hi All,

I need to commision & communicate CU 320-2 PN with G150 drive. PLC used is S7-1215 CPU to communicate with drive via Profinet communication.

Software Using is as follows:

Totally Integrdated Automation V14 SP1 with Step7 Proffessional SP1

Sinamics Stardrive SP1

With the PLC side adding the drive, Module Configuration, IP Address & name assigment are done and i have assigned the same IP and name in the Control Unit.

Firstly i tried to install Starter 4.5 SP1 it is not getting installed (Once after installation started, installation is getting terminated without any errors and also Starter Icon has been showing in my Laptop but nothing is working with the software, see attached photo. I think this might be because the software installation is terminated in middle & might not be fully installed).

So i thought of commision the Control Unit & drive with the Startdrive software, but i can't able to find the G150 Drive family, in the startdrive software.

Can please confirm that can i commision the G150 Drive with CU 320-2PN with the startdrive.

Can anybody help me to overcome this proble & help me to communicate and commision this drive.

Regards,

Hello,

G150 avaiable in Startdrive V15, for V14 SP1 no support available.

From the picture it looks that you use Windows 10?

Which Windows 10version?
You should use the latest STARTER Version (V5.1.x)

Helo,

this is a not compatible Version for Starter.

From the compatibbility tool you need Windows 10 build 1511.

The Version V5.1 SP1 HF2 spport Windows 10 1607.

Hi Christoph,

Then there is no way i can install Starter with my current version of Windows 10. And even i cant able to have Sinamics G150 package in the StarterDrive V14_SP1 which i am having currently..?

Oh God save me pls...

With a Win7-64 Virtual Machine with latest security updates, you may have more luck.  Check the hardware & software requirements before creating / installing / updating and configuring a VM - of course.  Verify what each option requires. 

Consider V14 SP1 / Starter 4.5 or 5.1, V15 Update 2 / Starter 4.5 or 5.1, V15 Update 2 / StartDrive V15 Update 2

If you choose to use Win10 and no VM, you absolutely need a lower build version for TIA Portal.

I have been battling this same issue with my peers pushing for Win10 PCs, attempting to install Siemens software, and finding out they needed to check the software requirements before selecting the O/S to install .

Hi,

So, currently i need to use either low version Windows-10 operating system ( or i need to have Virtual Machine (Windows-7 Professional/Ultimate with SP1, 64-Bit version), to work on Starter software and to commission the G150 drive.

There is no other option...?
