Hi i'm new to the siemens scene (most of my experience
is with Allen Bradley )and need help
uploading a program from a machine.
the setup is the follwing:
a s7-300 (cpu 313) connected to a touchpad
tp 270 via the mpi port.
I connect my computer to the plc mpi port (i have
to disconnect the cable that goes to the tp 270) and
establish an online communication. So far good. I don't
have the project information on my hard drive, so i need to
upload the program into my laptop. Using the view accesible
nodes options i'm able to see the block programs from the plc.
The problem is that the upload and the upload station are grayed
out. Am i doing something wrong? Do i need to put the plc in stop
mode.
I'm able to go into most of the blocks and see the code (execept for
some that apparently are protected).
What is the best way to do input monitoring ? Do i have to be
in a particular block?
Can I acces the plc through the touch screen connectors (this way
I can monitor program and have the touch screen running?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me!
