Other problem with Step7 v. 5.6 and updated Windows 10: if you try to open the simulator, it opens and, after few seconds, it closes itself. Then it is not possible to use the simulator. Someone has any suggestions? Thank. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Split from Step 7 5.6 & Windows 10.

VoraponS Posts: 3 Rating: (0)	I found the same problem my spec Windows 10 64bit pro Step 7 v5.6 no hotfix (i can't find it) PLCSim v5.4 sp8 WinCC 7.4 sp1 when i open the PLCSim at the CPU windows it not show the led light (every lamp) but in Step7 it can download program to CPU. And when i close PLCsim in Step7, it shows connection loss. But in the PLCSim can't simulate anything PG/PG in PLCsim (dropdown list ) all of them shows Grey:Grey color [SOLVED] by re-install PLCsim v5.4 sp8 and in my opinion problem occurred because WinCC installation. because it works properly before installed wincc

AlbertOne Member Joined: 2/9/2015 Last visit: 7/9/2018 Posts: 4 Rating: (0)	Thank for your interest. My specifications: Windows 10 PRO, 64 bits, v. 1803, build 17134.112 Step 7 PRO v. 5.6 HF1 S7-PLCSIM v 5.4 SP8 TIA Portal v 14 SP1 I tried to start Step 7 as administrator, I tried to restore the whole installation of Step 7, I tried to uninstal and re-instal Step 7 but without results. Simulator opens and, after few seconds closes and forces the interface PG/PC on "PLCSIM.TCPIP.1" even if I had choosen before "PLCSIM.MPI.1". Any suggestions? Thank

Also don't use the option "run as administrator" for Simatic Manager, this is no allowed and can cause some problems. Regards Christoph

At first, PLCsim started, but I could't place the switch in RUN mode (the simulation started with no position selected BTW). Checking the box with the position didn't work, simatic manager recognized it as STOP. Found out I can try to change the position using top menu - just after clicking the "run-p", the application closed without any warning. Now it won't start (closes itself after a second).

I installed the Step 7 5.6 Hotfix 5 https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109759316 Then reinstall PLCSIM 5.4 SP8 https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109750064 Hope this helps.
