tleb, While most of your software is OK, the key piece is the 4-mation Configuration software and the version you have is not compatible with XP or 2000. You will need to order an APACS Control 7.0 Update (part number UPH:PS032303V70U). You can more details about the latest APACS Control software here: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/24732734 As for the PCI MBI\MNI card, that is no longer available for sale (mature product). If you are using the MBUS connection, then the new PCI MBI card is part number 16413-16. If you are using MNET then you'll need to reuse the card you have, or convert the system to ethernet with an Industrial Ethernet Module. |

Thanks a lot, RJP for your answer, it was very useful! If I install the APACS Control 7.0 Update on my system (WinNT working), Do you know if any firmware-upgrade or similar needs to be downloaded into the QUADLOG PLC to continue working without problems? For the other Issue, we are using the MBUS connection, so i think the new PCI MBI card will work. Other question related with this. I don't know if i'm wrong, please tell me if i can trust in this document: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/23432213 It is the same document you linked in the previous post, but with an old software version of APACS+ R5. One of the components of this sofware is "4-mation Configuration Software (V4.50)" that is a bit older than the version that I have (4-mation Configuration Software V4.51 QP). In that document, I can read in page 14: "All APACS+ 3.01 control components are certified for use on Windows 2000 (SP 2) " and in page 12 : "Operating Platforms Compatible with 4-mation Configuration Software 4.50 4-mation CONFIGURATION 32-Bit IMPLEMENTATION MODULBUS Windows NT Windows 2000 Can i use W2000 for my new PC without update any the software and buying the new M-bus card? Thank you RJP. |
