Error messages aren´t displayed and even the buttons in the bottom of the screen won´t work. Closing the runtime only works if I use the stop button in the WinCC Explorer. The connection between WinCC and the PLC is a named connection and has work earlier in Runtime. Has anyone got an idea of what the problem might be??

Also, I am curious why there are no plant hierarchy entries on the top? Regards

The connection looks fine, there are no errors or warnings. In Simatic Shell we also selected this card for the communication. There´s one more thing I forgot. The runtime has worked, only after adding a Batch application the runtime stopped working correctly. Deleting the batch application doesn´t solve the problem. Maybe some settings changed??

Bastie_NL Posts: 5 Rating: (0)	Just checkedthe compatibility of Batch and thelatest updates available for simatic batch. The latest version are installed on the PC station. I found the problem in themeanwhile. Apparently something is wrong in the SQL server. I copied the Project to another PC station and it worked fine in runtime. The plant hierarchy etc is working again. So I think I just have to reinstall the SQL server. Anyway thanks for the help!
