Most of these problems started when I replaced the PC. I've only got one PC that is capable of online connection to our PLC's, and the old one was 6 years old and showing every sign of dying. So I got a new one, and started setting up the software. Took weeks, whether it was because of the wrong version (we've got a lot available) or was installed in the correct order (Simatic manager, WinCC flex, DriveMon etc). Finally got all that working, then discovered Distributed safety wasn't on it. Got that installed, and licenced, and the whole thing appeared sweet. So today I'm trying to add a comm's card to the Safety PLC, and I get two messages when trying to "Save and Compile".
“The F-library "Distributed Safety (V1)" could not be
found. Please reinstall "S7 Distributed Safety."
and
“Could not complete initialization of the safety program.”
I assume that until I get this fixed, I won't be able to add the CP 343 card to the safety PLC.
WHY does Siemens just have to make it all so hard?
