Hello, If anybody could help me with this problem because it's first time that i work with this kind of tag connections. I have: S7 program WinCC OS project. 1. When i open the S7 multiproject I dont see the OS project. 1.1. I made a import OS in this project. The project that I imported was in the folder where it is my Wincc app. It made a folder on the desktop OS Simulation. 1.2. The next step is that i make a compile on the OS project, and here starts the first problem. There was no connection that I could chose, so I opened the Net Configurator and made a connection on My SImatic PC Station that the import made, just to see if i could make a compile. I just made it 36 just to try the compile. (See picture) Now when i run the compile i see the connection. 2. I made a compile 3. I tried to open the WinCC project in folder OS simulator, and i couldn't (See picture) 4. I open the WinCC project HMI_S and there i started tag management, the problem is that i can't change the address, it says that is read only Now here is the process that i tried to make it happen, now if somebody could help me with this. I tried to read forum posts and manuals and so i came to all this steps that i wrote. If anybody can tell me how this procedure goes really. If I understand the tags are made in Simatic managers (tags, messages, alarms) and through OS the tags get imported in the WinCC. Before i just made a connection in simatic to my plc and made a tcp/ip connection in wincc(same address) and imported inserted them writing or just copying from excel file that i made. The project is created in OS project editor. In the attachment are ss of the problem. Best regards Deco10 AttachmentOS SImatic WinCC.zip (300 Downloads) |

Hi Deco10, Your topic is not complex at all, but your are doing some steps which are not correct and which are in the wrong order. Let's start at the beginning: Normally a PCS7 project is a multi project, consisting of several projects. According to Siemens, it's better to use a project for the AS, project for the OS and a project for the Clients. This is easier to work on when multi project engineering comes in place. An OS station is created from Simatic Manager. Please don't import OS stations as this can cause problems with PCS7. The concept is as follows: You configure an OS station in your multi project, you will configure it (hardware, create block icons, create process screens etc) and then the OS station is downloaded from the ES to the PC, which is the actual OS server in the field. Every adjustment you make, do it on the ES and download to the actual OS. If you want an OS project inserted in the multiproject, please go to your multiproject in component view, right click->Multiproject->Create or Insert. Create will create a new project, insert will insert an existing project. When the OS project is created, please go to the project and right click->Insert new object->Simatic PC station. Now, you can configure the hardware configuration. You have to insert a WinCC Application (for an OS server) and configure the plant bus network card (CP or IE general). The next thing you should do is to make the network settings like ISO, TCP/IP protocol and create a plant bus connection. Note that this connection is only valid for your project, so you should name it something like Plantbus_OS.Save and compile when your done. Next a OS object appeared under: "WinCC application" in the tree. You can now set the project path of the actual PC which acts as OS server. What you have to do next is to combine that local plantbus to the project wide plant bus. Plant wide means that there is a plant bus available to the whole project. In order to do this, go to your multiproject in component view->right click->Multiproject->Adjust projects->Ethernet->Execute. This will merge all your Industrial Ethernet connections to one big project wide network. Next, open NetPro of the AS project. You will need to create an AS-OS connection which will be called a: "Named Connection". Compile and download your AS or download only the selected new connections. Next, open the OS project in NetPro and compile the station. Now we are going to download the configuration to the actual OS server, because the server must know how to communicate. Go to your PC station in component view and right click->PLC->Configure and press "Configure". It will configure your PC station. If it is not visible, the terminal bus is not setup correctly. Next, the configuration must be downloaded, so right click again->PLC->Download. The configuration is downloaded to the station configurator of the OS. The pencil symbol has to be orange colour in order to establish a good connection. Next is to compile the OS when your AS project is compiled and downloaded. Select the OS object in your PC station, right click->Compile. In the next few screens, the network connection is displayed. Please click on: "Connection" and select the "Named Connection". Click next, next, next and execute the compile. All the WinCC tags are now created under the Simatic S7 protocol suite under "Named Connections". The very last thing to do is to download your OS project. Please click on the OS object again and select PLC->Download. You can now open your OS project on the server and set it to runtime. This is basically the whole procedure. I've written this down from my mind, so some thing may or may not be exactly correct.... I hope you find this useful and you understand how a project is setup. See below for some answers on your questions. PS: There are a lot of manuals out there, but what your looking for is the following manual: Engineering Station PCS7 v8.1 SP1 (PS: If you need an other version, you can click on my signature below to go to my topic where you can access manuals for all versions). CHEERS!

Hello Oreca , Thank you for your help, but this didn't solve my problem. I have one question that could resolve my problems. In first picture is the connection that was before in Simatic, when i just enter the address that points to my PLC Simulator (Delatlogic ACControl) it gives me the MAC address and not the new IP that i enter in the field. I had to chose the gateway address because the save and compile gave me errors. When I now go to compile on my OS it gives me the new address and it's not the one I entered. This pictures are in the attachment. AttachmentIP Address.zip (165 Downloads) |

Hello Are you sure you can use such a simulator? I thaught you could only use PLCSIM... |
