SIMOLINK - Software?

Good Morning,

I have retrieved a project for one of our machines, I get the message 'Software packages missing' With the software being 'SIMOLINK' I have searched google and do not seem to be able to find too much information regarding software for this? 

Traditionally we have used our Siemens PG's opposed to our laptops to make changes to this machine in the fear that we could have problems. 

Hope you can help? 

Hello.

SIMOLINK is fiber optical bus for Siemens drives Simovert/Simoreg with option board SLB and not the software package.

Please provide a screenshot of error message. Look also at these FAQs:

How do you check a STEP 7 project for the software packages required to edit the STEP 7 project?

How can you clear the error message 257:5 in STEP 7?

Hi, 

Please find the attached screen shot. 

I will look into your suggestions. 

Best Regards

Hello.

Try to look in the file 'Project\ApiLog\Step7Bas.ver' what software were used for editing project. You can open it with text editor.
