Hi
I am now struggling to get this connected. Seems the interface is a little quirky.
In Step 7 i have added a profibus network in the netconfig part and it shows a PLC and a line representing the profibus. I have 'zoomed' into the plc part and connected it to the cable, and assingned it to be node 2.
I now need to add the HMI to the network. If I click on Simatic HMI Station by default it is MPI. If I save this, so the new HMI is part of the Step 7 project, the open in Wincc Flex and configure the HMI to be profibus master, node 1, then save it all, reopen netconfig the HMI still only shows up as DP and not profibus.
I am clearly missing somthing obvious and it is driving me mad.
Perhaps I should add a stripped down project on here for someone to look at, let me know
Cheers
