Available: 1 ) Step 7 v.5.5 + SP2 (Step 7 proffesional 2010 RC2 for Win x64) 2 ) SIMATIC NET 2008 for Win x64 3 ) NetToPLCSim-S7o-v- 0 -9-2 The archive shows the following: 1) Settings NetPro 2) Hardware Settings 3) OPC Server Settings 4) IE General Settings 5) Settings PLCSim, NetToPLCSim and Simatic NET OPC Server 6 ) PrintScreen Simatic NET OPC Scout I do everything as described in the manual for NetToPLCSim: 1) set up connections for Ethernet (pic.Settings NetPro, OPC Server Settings), 2) is configured hardware (Hardware Settings, IE General Settings) 3) Then turn PLCSim and " load " project and rup PLCSim 4 ) to apply configuration settings for Simatic OPC server (xdb - file) 5) Then turn programs NetToPLCSim ( stopping service - s7oiehsx64), I enter the data network and click "Start" After all this, check the discrete variables in the Simatic OPC Scout and as seen in picture(PrintScreen OPC Scout), OPC Scout single variable can not see . What am I doing wrong? P.S. Also attached to the project just in case. Attachment Desktop.zip (1468 Downloads)

W1nn1ep00h Posts: 16 Rating: (1)	I've got it!! And so in order. You need: 1) Two Computer literacy, connected to the same network and are in the same domain group (if not one I have not worked) 2) On the first computer to be installed - PLCSIM and NetToPLCSIM 3) On the second must be set - STEP 7 (if you want to configure OPC Server) and Simatic NET OPC Server Procedure: 1) of the first computer: a) Making the network settings NETPro (pic.Settings NETPro).Save and Compile. b) Making Hardware controller settings,IP-address card CP 343-1 and IP-address computer on the network must be the same, as well as the mask, and gateway(pic.Settings Hardware and LAN).Save and Compile. c) Change the PG \ PC interface on PLCSIM.TCPIP.1 g) Run PLCSIM, load and rup project in PLCSIM d) Making settings NETToPLCSIM. ALWAYS run the program as an administrator. Stop service - s7oiehsx64. Then enter the data. IP-adress - PLCSIM and Networks must match (pic.Settings NetToPLCSim). Then run. If done correctly the status is "RUNNING". 2) For the second computer: a) Making the network settings for IE General (pic. Settings IE General). IP-address must match with IP-address network card.Save and Compile. b) Making settings OPC server (pic.Settings OPC Server).Save and Compile. Is done! Following these steps, you should have no problems to connect to the OPC server and start working with it (pic. Simatic OPC Scout) I hope it will help you. Attachment Desktop.zip (1426 Downloads)

Plcsim and NetToPlcSim are on one machine configured as described, on the second machine there is station configuration editor in which I imported xdb file generated after compiling the opc server pc station. Network between machines is configured as private through host PC. I can ping one virtual machine from another and vice versa. So the PlcSim and NetToPlcSim are working fine, on the machine with the simatic net opc server in station configuration editor everything is fine. In the opc scout in the opc ua server I can find plc which I am using but the problem is that I have a message: UA server find: server error could not open UA TCP request channel I am using step 7 v5.5, simatic net 8.2 There is no "UA server find: server error could not open UA TCP request channel" anymore. But in the opc scout, after I added a tag from OPC UA server under "Result" there is a message: "bad waiting for initial data" Has anyone had this problem?

Your PC station wants to connect to the PLC with the IP address you have configured in Step7. If you don't want to make any modifications in your Step7-Project settings, then you have to set the IP address of the PC to the same IP address the PLC woud have. In the Nettoplcsim settings, the fields "Network address" and "Plcsim address" should have the same IP address. -- Regards, Thomas

dolbyinside Posts: 106 Rating: (2)	Thanks for the answer, but I tried to run PlcSim and a OPC server both on the same virtual machine. The PC station (OPC server) and machine have the same IP address, PlcSim has its own IP address which is also on the same network(subnet). In the NetToPLCsim I found and added network IP and a PlcSim IP started the configuration. I imported the .xdb file to the station configurator editor and checked a port 102, with: netstat -ao \| find "102" tasklist \| find "5256" I got the messages TCP 192.168.1.4:102 PC name:0 LISTENING 5256 NetToPLCsim.exe 5256 console 1 26,632 K But in the OPC scout that I also run locally I have a message "bad waiting for initial data". Can the problem occur because Windows 7 is 64bit?

I don't know why, but the Siemens OPC server does not like this, with other OPC servers this is no problem. If you want to connect the Simatic Net OPC server to Plcsim/Nettoplcsim, you must run them on different computers (or use a virtual machine). If in your example the computer with Plcsim/Nettoplcsim has the IP 192.168.1.4, then in your NetPro Setup, the PLC which is the destination of the S7connection you hav configured must have the IP 192.168.1.4. I've written a document of how to setup a simulation with Simatic Net OPC server and Plcsim/Nettoplcsim (file SimaticNet-OPC-mit-Nettoplcsim.pdf), but it's only in german available: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nettoplcsim/files/nettoplcsim-S7o/doc/ In that document I use the option to add a second IP address to your interface, but you can simply change the IP address.

dolbyinside Posts: 106 Rating: (2)	Hi, I did the configuration you explained using two virtual machines and I can ping one from the another. On the first virtual machine I have a PLCsim and a NetToPLCsim, the PLCsim and the network have the same IP address and I have found the in the NetToPLCsim and have them started, the PG/PC interface is set to PLCsim TCP/IP. On the second virtual machine I have a OPCserver (with imported xdb file) and IP address configured in the netpro and a PG/PC interface is set to PC internal. When I start the OPCscout and try to run a OPC.SimaticNet server and a OPC UA server I got the messages (see an attachment). In the Station Configuration manager I have message: "Could not log off the proxy with index 125 from the SoftBus" The OPC server and IE general that I use are the version 8.1. On the a right click on the index 125 of the Station configuration editor (Stationmanager) and then on "diagnostics" I got the message: "Online: Connection could not be established the connection partner is not responding" I don't know what may be the problem, but seems to me that the OPC server doesn't have an access to the PLC (the NetToPLCsim and the PLCsim).
