Siemens S7-200 PLC and DSC 6.1

[Philip McDermott]

Has anybody managed to connect to the Siemens S7-200 PLC using DSC and the PG/PC Interface cable? I've bought a copy of the S7-200 OPC Server from siemens but can't fathom how to connect to items using the DSC Tag Creator.
Can anybody help please?

Thanks

Phil

Phil,

can you connect with another OPC Client to this Siemens OPC server?

A good link "Tools for Troubleshooting OPC Interface Problems"

Server Explorer might give you an error while you try to connect to the OPC Server.

If you don't see the OPC Server you might conntact Siemens for further information on "how to configure the OPC server". Normally they have an OPC Client as well (Scout?).

Let us know.

Hope this helps
