Hello People.
Me and a couple of other people are having some difficulty getting WinCC working. We have created a project in step7 controlled by simatic manager. Integrated into the project is Wincc from which we are to set the bits that control the different tasks our program are suppose to do.
The setup is as follows:
- We are linked to the plc via a PC USB adapter, which is connected on top of a profibus cable, which is inserted into the MPI slot on the CPU. The profibus cable is connected to a Simatic Panel(tp17b0 colour), but is not used.
- We have a rack which is connected via a profibus cable to the the DP port.
The PC has been given the address 1 in the PC/PG interface and is set to MPI. The MPI connection on the cpu has been set to 2.
So now we want to create a WinCC flexible Runtime panel to control the program as we have been unable get the simatic panel to register with the plc.
In simatic manager we then created a HMI station and entered WinCC. In the connections part of winCC we set the HMI station to address 3 and the cpu to 2. But when we try to select a station, the field is blank.
Any surgestions what I should do?
Also can anyone clarify what the toggleable option "Address is the only Master" means?(Might sound a little different as I'm typing this only from memory).
Thanks in advance
