When I open the project in simatic manager the icon for the simodrive is shown in the right panel when the simatic station is high lighted. Why does it not display in the projecttree branching off the simatic station. I have simodrive U and Drive ES V5.4 SP2 installed for configuring the drive but I'm guessing I'm missingsomething ? I did read a thread saying that drive ES was required. Do I need to update the service pack ? Would appreciate any help.
