I can go online with the 416 and can see the s7-200/EM277 station but no data can be read from the 224xp's v-memory I have mapped some values to the v-memory starting at V200 In the 416 i have offset v-memory @ 200 EM277 Power LED is on Green EM277 DX Mode LED is on Green All should be OK yet i can read no data in the 416 Should i be able to view data from HWConfig if i go 'monitor/modify' on the EM277 ?

Have you seen this link: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/2615830 It's about S7-300 as master, but it's the same if you use S7-400. Best regards, Wizard

In this case the V memory starts at vb4500 and is 8 IN and 8 Out. Regards Attachment Check_DP_HOST.jpg (156 Downloads)
