I have just started a new application with a Siemens S7 CPU 313C-2DP processor. I am using Simatic Step 7 software. The first problem is that on my hardware configuration the processor that I have selected is of the type 6CE00-0AB0 (Order No.) but the CPU that’s actually fitted in the control panel is of type 6CE01-0AB0.
On the Step 7 software that I have there is not an option to select this type? The only available 313C-2DP processor that is listed in the drop down is a 6CE00-0AB0 one.
Does this make a difference to my application?
And/Or do I need to update my software (Currently V5.1 Service Pack 6)?
Also I have managed to load OB1 into the processor and go online but I have several FC’s that it won’t let me load. Possible reasons are that there are addresses outside the permitted range etc or the selected processor won’t support certain function types. Does anyone know where the information can be found regarding permitted address types etc or any other reasons why the FC’s cannot be loaded?
Finally one last question!
Because I have been online with OB1 loaded into the PLC does that mean that my selected hardware configuration is correct or can you go online with this being wrong (i.e rack layout etc.)? I know that with Allen Bradley you would not get online if your rack layout is incorrect.
Your help would be appreciated to any of the above questions.
Cheers and thanks for your time,
