TISOFT TCP upload,download driver problem

[ry_fern]

Hi Guys,

Good day!

I have a question here for TI505 TCP. I plan to upload and download an existing program using the ethernet port of the 505-2572.

When I run TI505 TCP, the ethernet version of TIsoft starts. When I go "online", the screen indicates:

"No network driver installed". Also, I don't have any ethernet driver on the list box. According to the manual, I'll be needing the OnNet 16 Kernel or PC/TCP Kernel. Unfortunately, I cannot find these softwares anymore.

My questions are:

1. Are there any substitutes for this program?
2. Does this mean I can't use my laptop's ethernet port? I'm running in windows 7. My TISOFT is 7.1

Thank you very much.

I have no idea how this works, but you might search/ask at the Siemens 505 Forum. https://www.automation.siemens.com/...&SortOrder=Descending&ForumID=219&Language=en

I dont know anything about this problem but here is a link to a manual that may help.

Another link discussing the OnNet16. It appears to be for Windows 3.1 and 3.11. That Windows software version is nearly 20 years old. I would be surprised if it is compatible with your new computer and Windows 7.

The current software we use for our TI505 PLCs is 505 Workshop. http://www.fast-soft.com/index.php
Runs in WinXp, Win7 just fine.
If you aren't locked to Tisoft, I would recommend looking into it.
