Panic stations - the production line's been down for over two hours and I can't reload the System Database!
To go back to the start - I needed to add a connection to one of the PLCs and initially had problems with compiling in NetPro because the MPI and Profibus Networks had the same addresses. I cleaned that up but still got an undefined error, however I decided to continue, thinking I could just go back to the backup if something went wrong.
I was wrong - the screwed-up System data landed the PLC in a state where it neither goes into RUN nor into STOP. Going back to the backups didn't help they also give the undefined error. According to the Help files one of the problems can be that the "S7tmp" directory is write protected and it was. However removing the write protection didn't help and on the next attempt the write protection was back again.
Has anybody any idea how I can get a clean System DB loaded onto the PLC?
