Hello All,
I am having trouble setting up a S7-300 MPI connection using Simatic Manager 5.5. I am trying to use an OPC server with a S7 MPI driver to read data from the PLC. I have an S7-300 that has a valid MPI connection configuration but that controller does not have any data blocks configured. After too much time beating my head against my desk I decided to reach out for help. Can someone help me with steps required to pull running configuration on MPI configured PLC into Simatic manager so I can add a add a data block or configure from the ground up? I have experience with AB, GE and DirectSoft products but Siemens is really giving me a run for my money. Thanks!
