Hi all,
I'm hardly a Siemens expert, and am struggling with a conversion I'm working on right now. A system was purchased at auction, and I'm being asked to redo the controls side of things and hopefully simplify it along the way. All I'd really like to is pull down as much of the existing program as I can for later comparison, should I need it.
Current configuration:
Siemens Microbox IPC427D
WinAC RTX F
WinCC Professional
ET200S
Kuka KR-C4 robot connected via ProfiSafe
I'm trying to connect a laptop with TIA 15.1, Step 7 Pro, Safety Adv to the system and can connect to the WinAC instance, but am struggling to get all of the OBs, FBs, DBs, ect to upload from to my computer. If I try and upload from the entire device, I get an error of "Loading a single F-block from a S7 300 or S7 400 F-CPU is not supported". I can upload individual blocks as long as they are not F-blocks, but any block that relates to the f-blocks will not open. As I cannot pull down the entire device, I can't get much in the way of other configuration data either.
I'm also having a hard time with some FBs, and will get an error of "SCL blocks cannot be opened by an S7 300 or S7 400 CPU". Seems like only FB or STL networks can be opened. Is this normal for a WinAC instance?
The entire WinAC system will be disappearing soon, the plan is to replace it with a S7 1500 but I would like to learn as much from the existing integration as possible.
