Connection problem TIA PLCSIM Advanced 0132:000002

Siemens recommends VMs using one of the following platforms (according to the installation guidelines for PLCSIM Adv):

●VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 6.0

●VMware Workstation 12 Pro

●VMware Workstation Player 12

●Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V

Which one are you using in the cloud?

Hello all

I'm trying to download to an PLCSIM Advanced instance from TIA. I can detect the virtual plc but when I try to download to it I get the error "0132:00002, Connection error, the selected online target could not be reached"

The same setup worked previously on a local VM, but I moved to a virtual PC in the cloud.

My setup is as follows:

3 virtual PC in the cloud in the same subnet.
PLCSIM Advanced V2.0 SP1
TIA V15

PLCSIM advanced runs on the same PC as TIA

Does someone knows a solution?

If you simply right click on the PLC in the project tree and select simulation, can you connect?

I'm using Microsoft Azure but the network adapter says Microsoft Hyper-V. I attached a screenshot.

I didn't set the system up, I only use it.

Am I to assume you cannot have both the regular PLCSIM and Advanced installed?  That is unfortunate if it is the case.  When you launch PLCSIM Adv, can you download to it after define a generic PLC so it shows up as CPU common (of the right plc family)?

No, I dont have PLCSIM installed. I need PLCSIM Advanced because I need OPC UA and communication between PC

One consideration hidden in the documentation for PLCSIM Adv relates to which network connection on the PLC you are using.

I believe you can only connect to the main PLC adapter.  If your project does not configure that adapter, you will want to configure and then connect using X1 / P1 (and delete any topology related to X1).
