Problem with communication between S7-1214 PLC and WinCC OA 3.11

[Dmytro_Komsheliuk]

Hello!

I'm trying to connect S7-1214 PLC and WinCC OA 3.11 using S7 driver.
Is it possible?
All the time I'm getting AGLink error 0xfff50005 when trying to do this.

Best regards,
Dmytro Komsheliuk

Hi,

this should work if the PLC is setup for "compatibility mode" with the Put/Get communication.
The details can be found in Online Help section Driver->S7->Requirements and Installation.
Maybe you have to look in the OnlineHelp of a newer version, if it is not described in 3.11 online help.

best regards

Andreas

Is it not required anymore to limit the number of connections to prevent some errors?
With the config entry:
UseOneConnection = "Y"
or
UseConnections = 1

Yes setting this config entries is a good idea, otherwise it might be that there are some connection errors.
The drawback is a little performance penalty, but normally this is not relevant.
