Hi Guys
I thought you might be able to help me out on this one
I am trying to establish Ethernet comms between a Siemens S7-300 PLC fitted with a CP343-1 and Citect Version 6 . I have loaded and configured the Siemens Softnet Software Package V6.2 as per the instuctions set out in the white paper supplied by Citect "Configuration of a S7 connection via Industrial Ethernet with Simatic Net Ver 6.1" .I have still not been able to establish comms to Citect.
I belive the Siemens software & the hardware are configured correctly as I am able to Ping the module & run diagostics from the siemens software succesfully.Stopping & starting the Comms module can also be achieved.
Citect produces a fault on the hardware page at run time of "PLC I/O server Offline "
Is there any other configuration that needs to thake place on the Siemens comms module besides the IP address & the Subnet mask?
Any help would be greatly recieved
