Simatic MMC use in VMware

Hi Krsh,

I have the same problem at the moment. Did you find any solutions to access the mmc card from the virtual machine?

Best regards

Hi.

VMWARE (V12.5, default hardware compatibility workstation V12) does not see the hardware.

So there is no entry in the device manager.

Although the topic is created years ago, I would like to share how to get it working.

This is to read Siemens New S7-1x00 Memory Card in VMware Player.

1) Check your card reader disk volume number (host machine) under Windows 'Disk Management'. Most likely, it's Disk 1 or Disk 2.

2) Adjust setting in VM Machine under Manage > Virtual Machine Setting > Hardware Tab > Add > Hard Disk > IDE > Use Physical Disk (for advance users) > Choose the disk number that you read in step 1 (Disk 1 = PhysicalDrive1) > Usage: Use entire disk > allow the creation of a file name.

3) Power ON the VMware. Check if you see the Memory Card.

4) If you see the Memory Card, then start TIA. Under Card Reader/USB memory click > 'Add user-define Card Reader' > Choose the Memory Card.

With the above steps, I managed to read the card in TIA Portal.

*for MMC, we still need Prommer.

From one revival to another, this worked for me, thank you.

But you now need to start VMWare as Admin to add a physical Drive.
