In the station configuration editor I add a IE General as I normally do, only this time the RUN/STOP status says STOP. Whatever I change, like IP adresses or index, the STOP does not disappear. A second ethernet card (later added via USB) has the same problem. This card on another PC works fine. Any suggestions?

When I do this at first it seems to work but then it fails. The configuration console says: ----- The module's registration for the configured mode was canceld and it was removed from the Station Configuration Editor. ----- The Station Configuration Editor gives me the following events: ----- Index 1: No valid configuration data found Index 1: The database doens noet contain a system SDB Index 1: Component database invalid A default SDB was created for the proxy with index 1 The CP with index 1 is not operational! Index 1: Componet STOP due to PG command ----- Index 1 is the IE General Any idea?? Thanks in advance.

In INDEX 1 You must put OPC Server, and after that put ethernet card.InpreviouspostInthelinkYoucandownloadtheproject"LOCPRJ"toseethis.

In Configurating Console put for ethernet card not yet configurired. Restart the PC. Download the project from previous post , open in Simatic Manager , rename the PC Station with Your name, In Hardware config change the IP Address. In PG/PC Interface put PCinternal local. In Configuration console for Your card putthatthecardisalreadyconfigurated. In Station Manager put in Index 1 OPC Server, In Index 2 put IE General. Restart the PC. Open the same project and download project.(see the attachment) Best regards UMENCHO Attachment locprj.JPG (1189 Downloads)

In Station Configuration Editor I get error after restarting the PC: -------- The CP with index 2 is not operational! Error 0x0320 occured. -------- Any idea what this means: not operational? The ethernet card is working fine. Thanks again

And something else: When You make project in PG/PC interface you must put PC internal (local). After downloading the project with connection in OPC server and want to see some data with OPC Scout change the PG/PC interface. End when PG/PC interface is PC internal (local) check the diagnostic buffer of the OPC Server for more details about some errors. Best regards umencho Attachment locprj.JPG (1066 Downloads)

WernerHimself Posts: 17 Rating: (2)	Thanks for your help. The problem still exist but I switch to Profibus, at least that worked within 10 minutes instead of three days without success. Thanks again!

J_Bell Posts: 5822 Rating: (412)	Hello Werner, well, there are a lot of possible sources for this Problem. First of all... what SIMATIC Software do you run (Version or Order#) and on which OS does it run? Secondly, do you have any other Programs running on this system using OPC or Ethernet at all? Have you checked the IP Settings on the PC with those used on the Coco? I just would like to know what is going on, on your PC. Best regards J_Bell
