Hello to all,
I have a strange problem with establishing the communication between WinCC HMI station and the rest of Profibus network.
We have replaced old outdated HMI WinCC machine with newer one.
The project is migrated from winCC 6.0 to v 7.0 successfully.
New HMI machine came with CP5613A3 card (drivers already installed, Simatic NET installed and in win7 device manager PCI CP card is listed).
We have made exact same communication settings as they were on old HMI station with older CP5613 (under Set PC/PG Interface).
When testing Network diagnostics, all tests are sucessfull and all profibus nodes are listed. Therefore I conclude that Profibus card is correctly installed. However when WinCC Runtime is started there is no connection to the CP on the PLC side.
I have made a completely new WinCC project with only one Tag to test the connection and it doesn't work. I think now that the problem is within the WinCC itself, but I'm not sure.
Can you please look at the attached pictures and give me some advice?
Is it possible the there is some kind of compatibility issue between WinCC 7.0 (SP2) and CP5613A3?
Within the CP 5613A3 delivery package is also delivered STEP 7, but I didn't install this, because it wasn't installed on old HMI machine.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
