Hi all,
I am starting a project with motion control and currently have a few stepper motors that I want to get working with a S7-1200 CPU.
The specific motor is a SMD23E2-130E-M12
The website for this motor has a few sample files for basic stepper motor control, here is the link:
https://www.amci.com/plc-automation...es-integrated-stepper-motor-controller-drive/
I first tried to use the Siemens TIA Portal sample programs but when I opened the project it would not allow me to view or edit any of the function blocks, it would only let me view data tags and would tell me I don't have a TIA Portal Professional license if I tried to access the function blocks. I believe I have a more basic license.
Instead, I tried downloading the Siemens Simatic S7 sample programs files from that website, but it won't let me open any of them in TIA Portal V17. Is there a way I can open the .s7p that was included for the motor or are these files incompatible with TIA Portal v17? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
