Hi Guys,
I encountered a broken PC on site. The PC was a Simatic Rack PC (industrial one with S/n :6ES7643-6DA31-0JX0).The connecttion to profibus was using an industrial ethernet card (CP1613). SInce the plant need to be run, I tried to install the ethernet card to a common PC PCI slot but it didn't work. I would like to know if is it possible to actually used the ethernet card with the common PC. I have already installed the card and it was detected also by the PC. But no connection to profibus (WinCC connection already setted also). Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Anie
