Can not find PG/PC interface setting for MPI type of the PG/PC interface in TIA portal V13..

Janak Solanki

Hello friends,

                     I have installed TIA portal V13 SP1 on my windows 7 pro. 32 bit operating system. I also have a Siemens 315-2 PN/DP CPU (315-2EH14-0AB0) V3.2.11.

                     I tried to communicate my PLC via Siemens MPI cable, but i can't find "PC ADAPTOR" setting in PG/PC interface. This field shows only 1 setting and it's "PLCSIM V5.x". I'm connecting my MPI cable to the MPI/DP port on PLC. The Snapshots of installed software screen are in attachment.   

                     I can easily communicate (upload/download/monitor) to the same CPU with same laptop and software via ETHERNET cable.

                     Please give me a proper solution to communicate PLC with MPI cable.

                    

                     Thanks in adv.

 Mr.Janak Solanki

or try this also

Dear Ertapu and ANKURGAMIT

            I can communicate  PLC with Simatic manager V5.5 via same MPI cable.

            So thanks for reply but my problem  is still there. I have tried all possibilities that you suggested except reinstall of whole TIA portal.

            Suggest me if any other solution or setting is available...either or in the end i may also try the reinstall of TIA portal.

             Thank you.

Mr. ChristophD

               I have checked the hidden path you wrote, Up to 'Automation' folder it's correct but there is not available any 'simatic OAM' folder.

               The snapshot is in an attachment.

Mr. ChristophD

                Yes, it's working fine in simatic manager and all settings are correctly displayed in PG/PC interface(control panel).

                Also siemens PC ADAPTOR USB A2 is working properly in TIA portal. Only MPI cable(PC ADAPTOR USB) is not working in same.
