I have upgraded Step7 to SP2 Update 4, as well I installed the appropriate Hardware Service Pack for this PLC. When I try to go online, it will not connect and will give me error "Not Compatible" The fault light is blinking. The model number that Ive selected and the model number on the PLC are an exact match. Any tips?

HSP26 is the one needed for support of the latest S7-1200 devices. In portal, if you show accessible devices (before opening a project), does the plc show up? If so, go online with it and look at the diagnostic buffer and status to see what is going on with the plc. Reset it to factory defaults and see if you can download to it. It really sounds like the plc configured in your project does not match part # and firmware level with your actual plc.
