I am using SIMATIC S7-300 314 CPU and my problem is I can't see the setpoints and process actual values on the HMI-it's displaying '####s'. Have changed the comms cable between the two but no joy!
There is one scenario giving me all I want though but dont understand it and can't run the machine that way:
When I connect my Programming Laptop (the Siemens PG)then I get the PLC and HMI comms machine ready to run i.e all the values appear and once I remove the DB9 from the PG or shutdown the laptop I loose comms between the PLC and the HMI.
I am not too familiar with Siemens. can someone help!
