Can I configure the server as a PC station from Step 7 v5.5 SP3? I mean the closest option for me is to chose the OPC server version 8.2 from the catalogue of hardware configure for the PC Station (the OPC server) which is for Simatic net v8.2. What should I do if this configuration do not work? Thanks in advance. ---------------- New subject after splitting from OPC communication.

It means making the link between your PC and PLC not in STEP 7 V5.5, but SIMATIC NCM PC V12. SIMATIC NCM PC V12 is installed if a TIA Portal version of STEP 7 is not installed on the computer which you wish to install SIMATIC NET V12. See this link for configuration help in Simatic Net V12: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/77376717 Regards, Shawn
