Hi all,
I have a cpu313c on a site and tp1200 comfort hmi. I am an Omron user, so this is all new to me. I originally had TIA portal v12 on my laptop with the 30day trial licence, to make some small changes to the existing unprotected program on both the HMI and CPU. This did not go so well, as through the MPI interface I could detect the cpu and hmi but could not connect to either, as I am guessing because my step7 was basic, it was not compatible with 300 series CPUs. who knows why I could not upload from HMI. Anyway, fast forward to now I have borrowed another sparky friends laptop with latest TIA v13 pro on it. Still no joy - could not upload hardware config because program was created with earlier version of step 7 and in the HMI for some reason when I try to upload it just states 'upload cancelled'
So... for clarity's sake, how particular is step 7 with versions? Is there a +/- a few version tolerance for uploading or does it have to be opened with the EXACT version of step 7, and any clues on uploading from HMI?
Comms are MPI for CPU, and PN for HMI. can go online with both.
After using Omron I find this quite a drama..... Am still smiling, but starting to wonder what those Euro folks were thinking.
