Hello dear forum members.

I have been experiencing some issues while trying to upload a program from 1500 CPU, the message that is displayed is:

CPU is a 1517F-3PN/DP

Do you know how to fix this? 

Edit: Software used is TIA V15.1 Update 4

Hello,

sry only basic idea, really don't know with which language was programmed that F-CPU but looks like that language you don't have installed on your PC, that's problem.

Did you try to add an additional language to your project, see attachment ?

Check if the error message names the missing project language.

Or guess one, add it and try to upload again. If the error message occurs again, remove the tested language and  try an other language.

I'm not sure you can fix your problem like this, but I think there is a good chance.

Thanks for your help.

I tried that already, the Multilanguage checking, machine was built in Germany so I checked all the German languages without any luck :(

Thanks.

Regards.

Dear Rescobedo,

just an idea, as you have already checked project language. It could be worth a try.

Change the TIA unser interface language zu german. Maybe a upload is possible with this.

(Menu bar -> Options -> Settings -> Unser interfacae language)

maybe this helps

Hi,

for CPU-1200 it's not.

For CPU-1500 it's possible, if the "consistent upload from F-CPU" was set in the safety-administration. The checkbox has to be set, *before* the download to the cpu.

If the configuration/user program on the cpu was downloaded without this checkbox, a upload is not possible.

Hello thanks for all this suggestions.

The line consists on 7 PLCs and we face this issue only on 2 of them, all the PLCs are from S7-1500F series.

I will test all suggestions and let you know if one works.

Thanks.

Regards.

 Hello, I did not intalled German interface. Is possible to do it without having to reinstall TIA?

I checked all the german languages and got this message:

Maybe I had to install German interface as SanCruz mentioned, even though message says German (Germany) and English (United States) are supported, when checking this 2 only, I get the message with the one this discussion started.

Regards.

I have actual no hardware, but I would try this (Note: I think this this will change the safety checksum!)

• copy the project (with "save as ..."), do the following steps with the copied project
• add an English language to your project
• select English as editing and reference language
• remove German language from the project
• use the online functions to format the MC and reset the CPU to factory defaults
• download the project again in the PLC.

hello
