PN/IE adapters are missing

Split from PG/PC interfaces missing.

Hello ms23,

I recommend to check the system properties in Windows. Open the system properties in the control panel and after the "Hardware" tab and then click the "Device Manager" button. In the dialog that opens you mark the relevant device type under "Network adapters". Uninstall the driver and then close the Device Manager.

Check whether the folders for the device drivers concerned are entered in the Registry. If there are no entries in the Registry editor for the network card or the entries available are not recognized by the system, then the device driver is not available in the PG/PC interface. Open the registry editor via "Start > Run... > Input: Regedit" and open the following code: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siemens\SINEC\LogDevices".

Delete the relevant folders for the network card to be enabled. If there are no entries in the Registry, then it usually suffices to restart the PC after uninstalling the network card.

Restart your computer. After the restart the interface you require (the TCP/IP interface, for example) should once again appear and be selectable in the PG/PC interface.

With best regards

I had the same problem but simpler solution worked for me.

So before any further actions I suggest to first open Windows Services ([Win] + [R], Run: services.msc) and check whether "S7DOS SCP Remote" service is running. If not start that one and try again. You may need to restart your TIA to see a change.
