DIGSI 4 Issue: Unable to select Plug and Play

Hi all,

I am attempting to connect to a Siprotec 7SD6101 relay using Plug and Play as I don't have a backup of the device using DIGSI 4.90.

However, I am unable to even select Plug and Play because it is greyed out!

I have followed the basic steps in chapter 7.2 of the SIPROTEC_Manual_B7_V991700_en.pdf but could not find the Plug and Play dialog via the Device > Create device via Plug & Play context menu.

Is there something fundamental that I am missing???

This is the attachment showing no Device-> Create Plug and Play option as per Chapter 7.2 of the Siprotec Manual.

Again, I am using DIGSI 4.90. 

Hi,

First of all, after you have opened the SIMATIC-Manager you have to change the View from "Component-view" to "Topological-view". Than the plug&play button can be activated. Than right click on the Folder, which will appear and the device can be addet to your project.

Thank you very much MV_driver! 

Its strange how DIGSI 4.90 defaults to opening in Component View. But I guess that is how Siemens is trying to marry everything together in a DCS like manner.

I've switched to topolgical view and sure enough, Folder is available as well as the Device-> DIGSI (Plug and Play)

New question published by viswathiyagu is split to a separate thread with the subject 7SD610 V04.72 firmware.
