Hi,
Just to be sure everything should be ok, if anyone can confirm the following:
On the central PC there is PC with CP5611 Profibus card connected to the s7-300 CPU with one ET200 module.
This PC is for data acquisition and is used for reporting.
PC software is WinCC V7.3 (i need to check this), and existing program is made in Simatic Manager (step 7).
I would need to connect one more system which would be connected to the existing topology and also fetch data from CPU over PLC. This system would be programmed in TIA Portal V13 as it uses Comfort panels.
Would there be any problems with existing configuration? I have not worked in WINCC V7.3 (only in Flexible) so I am not sure about the setup.
Also should I need to put the new PLC in network topology of the old PLC(made in SIMATIC manager)as they would not be communicating? Because I do not have program of this system.
My plan is extend Profibus from existing cabinet where this PLC is to the new cabinet.
If anyone can help?
