Hi
My Firm just purchased a Simatic Field PG but nobody here has some decent knowledge about it. It had only been used a few times to make a connection with an external programmer but wasn't present at that time.
I attended a step 7 course about 10 years ago so now I would like to fresh up my knowledge and use it to debug issues (I'm a maintenance technician).So I took the field PG and some used hardware at home and would like to play with it BUT I can't get no connection with the PLC.
My hardware setup:
Siemens Field PG with Step 7 V5.5 + SP4
available cables: - a siemens cable DB9 male to DB9 male
- USB/PPI Multimaster Cable 9SE7 901 - 3DB30-0XA0 USB to DB9 (the 3 LED's light up on connecting the USB but that's it)
PLC: SITOP Power 5 6EP1333-1SL11
SIMATIC S7-300 CPU313 313-1AD01-0AB0
MMI card MC951/16KB/5V flash 6ES7 951-0KD00-0AA0
DI32 x DC24V 6ES7-321-1BL00-0AA0
DO32 x DC24V/0.5A 6ES7-322-1BL00-0AA0
AI8 x 12bit 6ES7-331-7KF01-0AB0
The current PLC configuration and program doesn't match with this hardware configuration so the SF is on
How do I get started (step by step details please)
Thank you
Happy Newyear
