Dear All, Did any one can help on "TCI" (Tool Calling Interface) communication issue? We have a tool for ABB drives called "Drive Manager" which can be launched from Simatic Manager/ TIA portal using "TCI" and we are communicating with ABB drives using this tool via Siemens PLC. we have communication failure with "Drive Manager" in one scenario. We have one customer project file -> we download this project configuration to PLC -> we launch our Drive Manager tool -> When we initiate connection it fails.(Disconnected message is shown) But when we export this project hardware configuration and then import to new project file and without download to PLC when we try to connect "drive manager" it will go online without any issues. Customer doesn't like to export and import the hardware configuration always, he prefer working with master project file. What is the difference between these two project files? Why it was failing in first scenario (master project file)? Can any one help on this? Additional Info: When we launch ABB "Drive Manager", Simatic Manager will generate one temporary parameter file "tpf.xml" in temp folder and the data from this file will be picked by Drive Manager for initiating communication with drive via PLC. From this tpf.xml file We found that the device references generated by master project file and new project files are different. When we debug our code with device reference generated by master project file we found connection request is not reaching to the device. where as with other device reference generated by new project file (imported hardware) is able to initiate communication request and reaching to the device. Can anyone help how do we make master project file to work? Please fine the attached tpf.xml files for reference. And let me know if you need any more information. Thanks in advance.
