Help please, we have a similar connection prob drive monitor to Simovert VC, and MC drives and Starter to MM440. we needed to install a CP 443 card to access plc via ethernet and needed to update simatic manager from v5.4 sp3 to sp5 to get relevant drivers. did this and downloaded and incorrect backed up project. cp443 was commissioned well, and the machine running fine, problem is we can;t go on-line with drive monitor to the Simovert VC and MC drives. can go online with blocks and charts and hardware config, but not drives. in hardware config the drives that were missing or incorrectly backed up are now showing as greyed out, but we can check status of the drives via h/w config, saying drives are ok. adv is that we have 2 machines similar. same settings of drive monitor (without even closing drive monitor) we walk from one machine to the next, plug (piggy back) onto the scada profi port and drive monitor connects. this machine where it connects, simatic manager not updated for the h/w config to be downloaded. fear now is that is v5.4 sp5 the problem, so if we decide to download the corrected project where the drives are in the h/w config, will the drives be compatible with v5.4 sp5 or will the drives not communicate with plc with MM440, also cannot go online with Starter other info: s7 414-2DP Simoverts: 6SE7090-0XX84-0FF5 (MDVP), 6SE7090-0XX84-0FF5 (MDMP) MM440 : 6SE6400-1PB00-0AA0 Simoverts VC (x11) and MC (x6) are connected via profibus on FM458-DP port. all these drives are greyed out, but healthy in h/w config MM440's and Simoverts VC (x11) are on cpu DP port with other et200's - these drives are all "black" and healthy other settings: pg/pc interface set to PC Adapter (MPI), 187.5 kbps ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
