Hi guys, I am having troubles to connect to any S7-1200 CPU with my TIA portal V13 update1 BASIC. TIA cannot find any accessible devices on network even when I am connected via lan directly to CPU. Software worked for me since version V11. Even with V13 Update 1 I was able to program couple of S7-1200 before. What I tried to do:
Any help would be much appreciated, Attachmentsiemensdetectionerror.zip (2632 Downloads) |

Hi. You have done everything I would have. I assume you also tried connecting PC to the panel. By now I would have moved to another PC and created a support request.. Support Request You do not have a firmware 4.0 PLC so you can use TIA11. A friend of mine has switched to another license (TIA13) but is still running on TIA11 software. If I were you, I would install TIA11 on a different PC while waiting for an answer that is more helpful than mine. I have read somewhere that HP computers have had some issues. Something to do with the driver for the keyboard. I can not remember the details so it may not even be helpful. Have you tried connected through a switch? If it is a modem/switch with WiFi, even better. If you can try to connect via WiFi to the switch which is linked to the PLC. I do that all the time with PLC and panel connected to the switch. Strangely enough my Dell seems to prefer this connection type. Sorry.. that is all I have to offer. Good luck! w |

I already contacted support request with my issue yesterday on the morning - no one replied since than. I guess I will have to wait more (even when its hard as projects for PLC programming are piling up at my desk). I will leave this option installing V11 for later - software is working with my collegues laptop just fine. Oddly enough he has the same HW laptop, samy type as I do and he got no problems with connecting to PLCs. So I am guessing this issue is software related. It was adviced to me also to try S7-1200 tool in order to assign IP address to PLC prior to programming. Even this software is not working for me. After installation I tried to run it. It says that my current communication settings are not compatible (see startup-message.jpg). After clicking yes, it opens PC/PC interface. I have setuped Realtek TCP/IP Auto interface with S7Online option. When I click OK, incompatibility message in S7-1200 tool appears again. I tried many options, not even one was compatible to work with S7-1200 tool. |

I have the same exact error, were you able to ever get an answer? |

My issue is still the same. I asked for Support from Siemens (you can send your request too), I was contacted to run two diagnostic SWs I send files for analysis to Siemens, I was contacted by Siemens by phone, we checked every possible setting I spend two weeks trying to solve my issue - with (if even) little success. Siemens guys didnt helped me, but this is what I found out: If I connect my PLC or HMI to wifi router and I connect to the network with my PC trough WIFI I am able to trace or even program the PLC and HMI. Little disadvantage is I have to have at least some program or configuration previously loaded to the PLC. So I always make a hardware configuration on my collegues laptop, upload it to PLC and than I am able to program the PLC with my laptop too. I gave up to search cause of the problem. I will reinstall my system when there will be less work to get done or we will buy more powerfull laptop for this job. |

Hi peterplavec, I had the same problem when I needed to install TIA V11 proand MicroWin up9 on same platform. When I had a Laptop with WIN 7 32bit had no problem to install both programs and communicate with S7-1200 or S7-200(PPI). Problem: Later on I had to replace my laptop to a new one which I recived with WIN 7 64bit, after installing TIA V11 proand MicroWin up9 they both could run but whenI tried to create communication on TIA V11 didn't find the device(plc), further more on MicroWin up9 didn't communicate via PPI it wasn't even listed in the set PG/PC.. Solution: Uninstalled both programs -> Installed STEP7 pro 5.5 sp2 2010 sr2 (works)-> Installed TIA V11 pro (works)-> Installed TIA V13 pro (works)->Installed MicroWin up9 (works but cannot communicate). for MicroWin had to creat a Virtual Machine running a WIN 7 32 bit(can communicate). so at this moment I have a WIN 7 64bit, programs: TIA V11 pro, TIA V13 pro, STEP7 pro, MW up9(works for reviewing projects). VM with a Win 732bit, programs: MicroWin up9. same problem happend on a PC of a colleague he has a WIN 7 32bit programs: TIA V11 basic, TIA V12 basic, Microwin up9. all programs are working then he installed TIA V13 Basic.. boom no communication on TIA V13 basic. he managed to create communication by assigningIP address with S7-1200 Tool then programing and downloading with TIA V13 when on same IP segment(assigning ip 192.168.10.52 with S7-1200 tool, then changing PC ip to 192.168.10.99 and communication is working). I'm not 100% sure whatthe problem isbutmy guessing iswheninstalling a programit configures which communication port it should use sowhen you installed different programs I guess it overwrites some of the configurations causing some conflicts. maybe even there are conflicts with Siemens windowsservices (you can see them on task manager-> services). when I asked siemens support they suggested Ishould install each program on a different Virtual Machine and just transfer the license from one to another. hope this will help you. Dave. |

Had the same problem with TIA Portal V13 SP1 Upd1, on two PCs. Problem appears to be resolved with installation of V13 SP1 Upd2. Hope this helps. |
