I have a similar problem here. We have windows 7 64 bits and microwin 4.0 SP9. The software runs ok, but we can not download the program to the PLC. In the set interface PG/PC we selected option Microwin-> PC/PPI but in local connection we only have the usb option and there aren't COM ports to select. The computer have two serial ports. I also tried to use a USB/Rs232 conversor that generates another COM port in the device manager but I can't choose this option, USB is the only option in the combo box. Any suggestions are welcome ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Hi. You are talking about TIA V13 without SP1, we are using TIA V13 SP1 in order to use the simulator for the S7-1200. So it's a different thing. Most of all, you have a dual boot with windows 7 64 bits and windows 7 32 bits. As I said before, I don´t have problems running in a VM but the thing is I'm teaching students, it's no my computer, a lot of people use the computer. I want the software running in a single boot Windows 7 64 bits without virtual machines. The post was splitted by the moderator, I recommend read these other posts. https://support.industry.siemens.com/tf/ww/en/thread/posts/122558/?page=0&pageSize=10 https://support.industry.siemens.com/tf/ww/en/thread/posts/134722/?page=0&pageSize=10 I'm trying now another solution I post the results later. Best regards. |

Hi everybody. Eventually, I've found a way to fix the problem.
Next I tried to copy the fila with the serial parameters with another name and select in the PG/PC interface and the Microwin starts to comunicate without problem. In order to change the com port, you need to change de xml file, so I create four xml files with COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4 wich are the most common configuration and create a script to copy this files in the right folder and change the attributes to read only, so the program can not change the settings because, Microwin try to overwrite with the USB driver. I attach the patch in a zip file. The script file instruccionts are in spanish but you only have to press one key twice. You can edit the script if you want. I hope it helps to everyone with the same problem. AttachmentParche Microwin.zip (910 Downloads) |
