Kaleem Afzal Posts: 10 Rating: (0)	Hello, (Mods please move this to the appropriate thread if it's not for this one) I have to install a CP1623 PCI Express (6GK1162-3AA00) on a CPU with Windows 7 and WinCC V7.0 SP2 I have the following questions 1. Is it possible for Windows7 because after inserting in the PCI express slot and rebooting the CPU is not giving any prompt for the CP1623. 2. The CP1623 has two ethernet ports. Can both be used to connect to the two ethernet CP's connected to a S7-400H system Thank you for any pointers.

Is it possible for Windows7 because after inserting in the PCI express slot and rebooting the CPU is not giving any prompt for the CP1623. Look at http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/37173023 and then use the Driver CD for CP 1623 shipped together with CP1623 package. Kaleem Afzal 2. The CP1623 has two ethernet ports. Can both be used to connect to the two ethernet CP's connected to a S7-400H system. With the aid of with of RED. CONNECT. package yes it is possible to use it for communication with S7-400H (to build a fault-tolerant S7 connections). So, you will need a 6GK1716-0HB80-3AA0. You need a second CP1623 and the "POWERPACK S7 REDCONNECT" software package (6GK1716-0HB80-3AC0) to be able to operate this PC properly with an H system in a redundant network (redundant system bus).

I am using SIMATIC NET V8.0 However, I still didn't get any prompt about the CP1623 on rebooting after installation of Simatic Net V8.0 After installingSimatic Net V8.0I was able to get the CP1623 up in the station configurator.( I have attached snaps of both installed softwares and the Stn confg) Does it mean the CP has been properly installed? Because it seems that I can't run the diagnostics from the PG-PC interface in the control panel?? With reference to the RedConnect usage, I am using a stand alone WinCC, since the CP1623 manual says that both ports on it would act as a switch, wouldn't that cover the connection issue for the CP1623? Thanks and Regards Kaleem Afzal Attachment Snaps.zip (553 Downloads)

I agree that you need the Simatic Net because, if you don't install it, the Win7 doesn't recognize the card and couldn't find the driver. The CP1623 works like switch in some cases.
