I am supposed to set up a SCADA application working towards 5 siemens plc,s on industrial ethernet.
I use CPU315-2 DP with CP343-1 cards.
The computer for the SCADA is running on windows XP. The SCADA application has it's own drivers for TCP/IP.
I am testing the network, so I just set up one CPU with CP card.
Just to get the link up and running, I connected the cable between the CP card and the Ethernet card in the PC.
Problem is that I can not get the connection up and running between them, before I even start the SCADA application.
Windows is just telling me that the network cable is unplugged.
The CPU is running fine with the CP card, but the Link light on the CP card is off.
It seems that they do not recognize eachother.
If I connect my laptop to the CP card, it says connected straight away.
If I connect the SCADA computer to the LAN in my office, it says connected straight away.
But not with eachother...
Do I need something else installed on the SCADA computer, or are they supposed to run together as long as it is TCP/IP?
Any hints will be highly appreciated....
regards
Andreas
