new user, Question S7-Driver added but then ?

Post by PeterGold »

I have received a demo Wincc OA, and did some testing with the demo.

Now i have tried to setup a new test config.
I added the S7 driver to ceoonect a s7-300 with CP343-1 lean, take my plc settings ip adress , rack slot imported all the tags from the S7 project.

But now what todo now?

I can not find anything in the datapoint parameterzion

Or does the s7 driver not run in demo mode ?

Also i tried recipie but also needs a licence in demo ?

I found some nice starting video's on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGBnHd ... MDsjTk0-Sw However it stops at lesson 05

In the ETM Porta at portal.etm.at, in the download page, under events WinCC OA User Days London there is a very good presentation called "Workshop - WinCC OA User Days 2016 Communication Drivers Protocols" that describes how to use various drivers, among them the S7 drive. That should help some, at least.

In general there are the following steps for setting up communication to a device:
1. Configure device
2. Configure poll/subscription group
3. Configure a periphery address
