SIMATIC STEP7 stopped working while uploading program

Dear All,

I am using SIMATIC STEP7 V5.5 SP3. Since 2 days I have been trying to upload program from CPU 315F-2PN/DP by using MPI as well as Ethernet cable. But at the start of uploading it get stopped automatically (Please refer the attachment). I am following beow steps:

1. Selecting appropriate PG/PC interface.

2. I clicks on "UPLOAD STATION TO PG".

3. It opens new window where I click on VIEW and I get exact CPU name. 

4. After that I clicks on UPDATE and then OK.

5. Now at this point it takes a while to start uploading but as soon as it starts uploading it get stopped.

I am using SIEMENS FIELD PG with Win 7 64bit. 

This problem is occurring with each PLC which we have in our company. I can go ONLINE, I can DOWNLOAD the program but cant upload.

Please help

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

do you have a virusscanner active - the deactivate it.

I would install SP4 - perhaps it will work!

Dear Sir,

I already have deactivated Antivirus since 2 months and software was working fine before few days but suddenly it starts showing error during upload only.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Will updating to SP4 solve the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Yes, you should try to install SP4.

Or you could try a repair installation of STEP 7

Dear Wizard & Towome,

I was wrong :(

Actually this problem is not happening with each and every PLC. Instead this is happening with CPU 315F-2PN/DP only.

I tried to upload program from other PLCs and its working fine, but still there is an issue with above mentioned PLC.

Please help me once again and sorry for previous mistake.

Hello everyone,

Did you solve the problem?

I've same problem with Step7 stopped while uploading program. In my case it's a CPU 416F-2 and Step7 v5.6.

I tried reparing Step7 installation. Also removing Step7 and re-installing again. No results.

Thnaks in advance.

Best Regards.

Dear Autogen,

This uploading issues arises sometimes because of the older GSD files in the CPU. This prevents the uploading of the program.

Have you tried with the older versions of step 7?
