SIEMENS OP7 Operator Panel Program

[dwcy]

Q1. I want to upload the program from one OP7 and then download to another OP7. Is it possible?
Q2. I install a CP5613 PCI card in a PC to provid a OPC server. Usually, the CP5613 PCI card is connected to a CP342-5 Profibus Module. Is it possible connecting to the MPI port of the CPU314 to get data?

Thanks!

Hello dwcy;
Q1: you can use the Prosave utilty (in you Protool propgram group) to upload a program and dowload it to another OP7. You cannot open or modify the file that you upload (it is compiled).
Q2: You can set the CP5613 to MPI settings (in the PG/PC Interface program; can be accessed through the Tools menu in Simatic Step 7); then you can go online with the CPU's programming port and access your data.
Hope this helps,
