marzelo Posts: 17 Rating: (0)	Dear Siemens partners Can I communicate a MP 277 with a PLCSIM through a USB/MPI cable ??? Do I have to use a NetPro ??? The HMI programm was download, it was ok. The Step7 programm is very easy, it has 2 NO contacts and 1 OUTPUT. I was setting MPI ADDRESS for HMI : 1 for PLC(PLCSIM): 2 When i click a bottom at HMI; NO contact changed to close in S7 programm. Thats the desire results but it doesnt work. Could you help me.

But let me tell you something, I was reading about MP and Step 7, and i found a document that it says we could not communicate a MP 277 and PLCSIM trough USB/MPI (PC Adapter MPI) cable. So now I was triyng to do with Ethernet points.

I think this is a safety precaution to make sure no one ever connects STEP7 to a real PLC accidentally. I'm sure you can imagine the potential dangers if that happened. Sadly, that means you cannot connect a real panel to a simulated PLC.
