Hi
I am using a S7- 400 PLC which is connected to a PLC through profibus to a ET 200M module. This ET 200M is connected to the machine . This CPU is also connected to the touch panel MP 377 15" . My PG/PC is connected to the CPU through Ethernet by the communication processor CP 443-1. The connection between the PLC and my PG/ PC is working and am able to see the online status of the PLC. In the net pro i have designed the network topology of the whole system but when i try to save and compile it i get an error that my touchpanel is not connected to the network. If i connect both the profibus and Ethernet nodes of the touchpanel then the error is away. when i try to upload the program from my winCC to my touchpanel i require the routing function in the transfer settings of the PLC as i need to transfer first to the PLC through ethernet and then to touchpanel by profibus.
My question is
1) how do i create in netpro the network topology only with profibus and no errors. as i have no ethernet connection to my touchpanel and the PLC. or do i need to connect the ethernet aas well?
2) How do i transfer my wincc project to my touchpanel because i am unable to see the routing function in the transfer settings of wincc
Thank you
P.S : if this explanation does not help i will attach some screen shots.
