Alight first off, I'm NOT a siemens guy, Second thanks in advance for any and all advice.
So i'm working on a large data collections project, been now handed part of this project that is completely out of my depth but this is what i have found.
I trying to retrieve data from a large cnc machining center, it has a Sinumerik control on it. Kepware nor Prosoft PLX32-EIP-SIE are able to communicate with the controller. Comms are rejected by the server. Its and industrial PC.
So i was able to get into the back end of the controller and do some poking around and it appears as if the problem in simply that a Industrial Ethernet Driver has not been configured.
And i've found the following documents to support my theory.
I did figure out how to add the ethernet driver,in simatic manager however at this point what needs done? Do you have to download to the controller? I'm a little leery of making any changed just because i have backed anything up and saved it first, i don't know how. I just don't want to mess anything up. It let me add it but im treading lightly here, i'm not going to save anything to someone confirms my process.
Anyway does anyone have any thoughts or input?
