Hi, I have some problems trying to simulate project on PCS7 V8.1 (no problems with previous versions). AS simulated with PLCSIM, OS -> "start OS simulation". There is no connection between OS and AS (TCP connection). I noticed one thing - as soon as I start PLCSIM, Communication configuration Console shows that Ethernet interface is not operational. There was no such behavior in previous version (PCS7 V8.0 SP1). Maybe this is the problem. Any ideas ? p.s. PCS7 installed in virtual Vmware Workstation system. AttachmentStatus.zip (365 Downloads) |

Hi,
Simple application tests can be carried out with PLCSIM without the availability of AS hardware. So, try it with ISO. Also NO named connection . |

Hi, If you have a look at the "Configuration Examples for S7-400H with PROFINET" document under Chapter "4.2 Communication between H-CPU and plant PCs" you can read on page 25: "CP 443-1 or internal PN interface? I hope that is answering your question. |

Hi,
By the way it does not say anything about supporting ISO protocol on PlantBus. In the mean time PLCSim is limited to use ISO, so it will be difficult to use PLCSim to simulate the station without external CP. So If you have to use ISO protocol on the Plantbus, you will probably have issues. I think on TCP/IP that should be fine as this is well described in the attached manual. Check your client's NW architecture regarding to Plantbus settings, and let us known is need more help. |
