I have been experimenting with Siemens OPC Server. I successfully installed SimaticNet on a Laptop and set it up as a PC Station using the Siemens website help… http://support.automation.siemens.c...objaction=csview&extranet=standard&viewreg=WW
With the OPC Scout I was able to see symbols from the PLC and also to write to them.
Problems began when I installed SimaticNet on the PC that is being using as the PG/PC Interface (with Step7 installed). I am not sure if it can be done, but I wanted to use the same PC for programming and also for the OPC Server and scout.
If it can be done, does anybody know what differences are involved in the setup?
Thanks
