Hello Dony; You are correct in assuming that you need software support for your communication card. Since the error messages indicate you have a CP 5613 or CP 5614, you cannot use a softnet driver (this would be useful for a Softnet card, such as a 5611). You need a Hardnet driver, this one being adequate for a 64 bit Windows 7 installation (look at the compatibility matrix if you have a different OS): Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier Compatibility issues: Which SIMATIC NET CD is released for which Microsoft Windows operating system? Required software supporting the CP 5613 (Profibus):

Hello again dchartier. I'm having some troubles with this, I can communicate IPC427C with the CPU319-3 PN/DP using Simatic Manager, but when I try to connect my WinCC Project the connection is not established. I'm using the Simatic Protocol Suite -->PROFIBUS. and also i have to say I'm using the DP port in CPU 319 ("X2, DP"). Do you know if I need some PROFIBUS CP for the CPU 319???, Can I use the "X2, DP" port in CPU for this application?? I hope you can Help me because I'am new in WinCC and PC BOX. Thanks for everything, I am wating for any advice. Dony. |

Hello Dony; How have you setup communications between WinCC and the CPU (you can use the DP port of the CPU, of course)? This is done in 2 steps: 1- in Simatic Manager, insert a WinCC station (in your project) and configure it as a station with your CP 5613. 2- in WinCC, select the channel DLLs for your tags, in this case the S7 Protocol Suite, Profibus-DP. Just open the WinCC Help on Profibus-DP to find more details, or follow the information in the following FAQ: How can I create a PROFIBUS-DP connection in WinCC? . Hope this helps,Daniel Chartier |
