The crash always happens if the installation of the TIA Portal software failed. Easy to overlook cause the software only displays a small red icon after installation but says it completed the installation. The problem lies in the S7DOS system, responsible for the online access of the Siemens software. As far as we know there is no solution for it yet other the formatting your harddrive and reinstall Windows and all software.

In a zip-file (>100MB) all the data is send to Siemens for further investigation. Last week STEP7 V11 Basic with update 1 was quite stable. Now, thanks to you all, I downloaded and installed Update 2, which was not yet available on the service and support site in English. I'll keep you posted. Please if you have also these problemsplease start alsoa ServiceRequst, the more Siemens can investigate the quicker a solution is found.

I was a little too enthousiastic with installing TIA Portal V11 Professional over TIA Portal V11 Basic incl. Update 2. That means I installed first TIA Portal V11 Professional and directly on top of it Update 2. And without using the personal registry patch all of a sudden it worked. According to Siemens it is by accident, because the release notes make no notice about fixing these problem. Maybe Update 2 is the solution, but it is not officially said.... Good luck

Till I had WinCC V11 Advanced SP1 installed. MyMP277 can only be programmed via the MPI-port, it communicates allright with the different CPU's via ethernet... That was better in WinCC flexible... And now all of a sudden compiling the MP277 part of the project causes a crash. Removing, installing, removing, installing... Still a crash as soon as compiling starts. The programming it self is very nice. Too bad you can't have "variablename.2" as bit 2 of the e.g. word "variablename". Now I have to copy this to the flagwords and use these bits. As soon as I have time to start a support request...........

First I was looking for an WinCC like "delete temporary files" are so... Maybe Siemens is working on a tool like "repair project", which would be very nice. At least I thenmade a copy of the MP277 part in the same project and compiled that and the TIA Portal did not crash! So I deleted the original MP277 part, renamed the copy to its original name and connected the panel to the CPUs (S7-1200 and Compactlogix L32E). And still no crash!! Let's wait what tomorrow brings...

In the Control Panel I selected S7-ethernet instead of ethernet. The remote control option is selectable on the MP277, but does not work. Now my MP277 says something about that Runtime refuses to start. So I tried an OS Update via ethernet... Not working, Profibus 12MB... Not working. Profibus 1.5MB... At least it is better/faster than MPI. Is it common that the program is very slow? Too bad you cannot do a download for the HMI and keep programming the PLC at the same time. Annoying is the way you select the way of programming the device (programming port). In Extended download to device you cannot select the type of interface before the software tries to connect to the device. Lost oftime is lost... Strange... Shooting another project in the MP277 causes no faults. Should the MP277 part of the project be corrupted again? Well.. Ithink this is enough for the moment.
