Need to Install CP1616 on RHEL based Wincc-OA Server

Post by kumar.samarth@tcs.com »

HI,

I have a Wincc-OA server configured on Linux 7.5. For communication purpose i have to install CP1616 card on the server. Hence, is there any package required to get it detected on WIncc- OA and Linux.

E.g. in Windows we have Simatic Net PC software for detecting CP cards.

Please help me on this.

When looking at the WinCC OA Documentation for the PROFIsafe driver you will find the following information:
Under Linux, the CP1616 drivers must be compiled and installed separately (refer to the DK1616 documentation) before the PROFIsafe driver can be installed. A kernel update of the Linux installation requires a recompilation of the drivers.
