Have some experience with Step & but new to TIA.
Watched videos on topic and read and searched. Did what they said.
SIMATIC IPC427D with PROFIBUS on board (CP5622 compatible); 2x Gigabit Ethernet; 2x PCIe slots I am using the Profinet connection to connect an additional I/O device.
Added a ET200 followed directions. They always download the configuration to the processor at some point but I am offline.
I want to add the ET200 and make some edits using thise I/O offline and then download on site.
Once added. The ET200SP and input output cards are in the topology view.
Connected the ET200 to the processor by PN/IE and saved project.
Looks like everything is great.
But the ET200 does not show up in the Distributed I/O tree of the processor like it does on the video from Siemens. Instead , the ET200 is in the Unassigned devices tree.
In addition to this the input start addresses are all grayed out and can not be changed. And the process image is none and can not be changed.
I can not make the desired offline programming changes with this situation.
I realize I can not download to the processor as I do not have it, nor can I download to the configuration the the ET200, but I think we should be able to add a module and address it to an offline file.
I compiled the hardware and software , checked for errors etc. I don't see it.
I am missing something.
In the old Step7, I could add a device and compile the hardware, and set up all the addresses etc., then once online, a message would come up that the hardware doesn't match and you have the option to download it.
Not getting that here.
Also in the video, his ET200 goes right in the Distributed I/O tree.

And they never change the input start point in any of the videos, but I did see that their address was white boxed and not grayed out.
