You said to check the "Hardware Diagnostics" in the Simatic Manager by going through the PLC > Hardware Diagnostics > Module Information. (the PLC IS showing an error) You then said to "get detailed information". The only detailed information from there is the Diagnostic Buffer. Are we talking about the same thing here?
Yes, we are talking about the same. Only,
if there had been a problem with one of the ET200L modules (because there would be a problem with the RTD modules),
then there would have been a display of (all) the modules with errors, including the ET200L with the RTDs.
You would then have been able to select the ET200L and get detailed information about that one.
edit: To get an idea what I mean, disconnect or shutdown one of the ET200 stations. Then investigate the HW diagnostics. The troubled ET200 station must be displayed.
That you do
not get a HW error for the ET200L with the "bad" RTD modules is what baffles me. If there is no error, then you should be able to view live analog values from the RTD modules via the VAT table.
That there is no HW error for any of the ET200 io, means that the PIW124 access error is caused by a difference in the what the software program is made for (it refers to PIW124) and the actually installed/configured hardware (there is no PIW124). So there is an error in the backup !
