Hello experts, I've been trying to get this to work with PLCSIM and after much trying and reading on this forum it turns out that PLCSIM can not simulate the PID version of the project and some suggested downgrading the PID version or changing the CPU to s7-1500 series.
The problem is with the tags of the HMI device included with the project. The tags no longer connected properly as you see in the attached picture. So I tried different CPUs, different connection, copy and past files and devices and all that jazz but cant get it to work. I get over 300 errors and I don't want to manually go and reconnect every tag. And of course now I'm curious as I'm sure this happens in the field where device are upgraded and reconnected to existing HMI devices so there must be a way to do this other than manually change every single tag. The attache picture shows the following: -Snapshot #1 shows that right tag name but the wrong HMI connection as it should be HMI_Connection_1 even though the connection in Devices&Networks is correct. -Snapshot #2 shows that when I click on the button in front of the tag the popup box gets to the right PLC but not to any specific tag. -Snapshot #3 shows how the tags were connected in the project before I changed the CPU -Snapshot #4 shows that when I changed the connection manually to HMI_Connection_1 the PLC name is displayed correctly as PLC_1 but the pink highlight is still on (and not when I click on the button next to the tag I still didn't get a connection to a specific tag). But when I compile the software I get one less error! As always any help and input is greatly appreciated. Kal |

Thanks Christoph. I tried that too and did not work. Kal |
