Did you installed and S7-200 OPC server ? You must install PC access software https://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/llisapi.dll?func=cslib.csinfo&objId=19301654&objAction=csOpen&nodeid0=10805590&lang=en&siteid=cseus&aktprim=0&extranet=standard&viewreg=WW |

Hello, hoangatschas posted an attachment where you can see that he sees nothing in OPC scout. Do you want to say that you install Simatic NET and can communicate with PLC 200 without any licenses? Somehow I think that you still need licenses for Simatic NET OPC communication driver. |

So you have OPC.SimaticNET. Can't you see it in WinCC's OPC server browser ? |
Best regards, |

No, I do not mean without license. However you can test connection without license. SimaticNet normally gives error pop-ups if you do not have license. But for proper use need license. But what I said was that if you have Simatic Net, then you do not need PC access to connect to S7-200. PC access isused for S7-200 connection only if you do not have Simatic Net. |
