I have a simatic manager installed in my PG. I want to backup the program from CPU 315-2 DP/PN but I do not have the procedure. Still a newbie.

Question:

1. Is there a procedure how to upload the program from PLC to the PG?
2. Do I need to do hwconfig first in simatic manager to upload the program?
3. How do I communicate to the PLC using the interface cable?
4. What version of simatic manager should I use?

Thanks.:confused:
 
You don't have to do a HW Configuration.
What you have to do is:


- Create a new file
- Set your PG/PC Interface, in your case you could use Ethernet communication.
- Make sure that your ethernet adapter is configured
- Then you can upload your program
 
It is called "Upload Station to PG".

In the upload dialog you will be prompted for Rack, Slot and IP address.
For an S7-300 set Rack=0 and Slot=2.
You can either enter the IP manually, or search for it via the dialog.
The IP and Subnet of your PLC must be reachable from your PC.

Hi Hagos,

Can I use an MPI cable? Is an ethernet connection same as using a lan cable?
How to configure an ethernet adapter?

Thanks.

Hi Jesper,

So this is like creating a HW config for CPU and I/Os. How can I search for the IP via the dialog?

Thanks.

Connector X1 will support the MPI interface if it is configured in the PLC- if you have a profibus plug on it then chances are you will have to use ethernet.

Configure the ethernet connection under the Set PG/PC Interface then when you upload in the HWConfig it will ask for a direct IP address or you can have it list available addesses.
