Hello All
I hope you are well and safe.
I have a problem that I could use your appreciated input for:
SW: SIMATIC MANAGER v5.5 SP3
HW1: S7400 (CPU 416-3 DP) 6ES7 416-3XR05-0AB0
HW2: S7300 (CPU 315-2 DP) 6ES7 315-2AH14-0AB0
ES: Dell station / Win 7 Ultimate
PG/PC: TCP/IP(Auto)
The S7400 CPU is acting as a master (Operating mode DP master on X2 DP port). The S7300 CPU is acting as a slave (Operating mode DP slave on X2 DP port).
The Engineering Station (ES) is connected to the S7400 through Ethernet and I can access it online (download/upload...etc.)
I succeeded in adding the S7300 PLC in the same project as the S7400 PLC and make coupling on the profibus with the proper configuration and could see the S7300 online and exchange data with it.
My question is:
1. Can I access the S7300 slave program online from the project on the engineering station? (Is there some sort of bridging between S7400 Ethernet and S7300 profibus?)
I remember in some project before (although it was PCS7), that I can access the slave online from the ES although I was not directly connected to the slave.
I don't know if there is a difference between PCS7 and STEP7 or if I am missing some configuration or if it is even possible in the first place
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
