Then I opened Scout 10 to see whether the variables are imported to the servers. I could go online and see the variable from TIA portail V15 variable table, and the program in the PLC is under Step7. I compiled the project and exported a XDB file. I created a project with 2 dummy PLCs I imported the DBs and the variables with symbols by adding it from external source file. I tried to realise the solution you gave me and it worked for importing the symbols. Means: deleting all from hardware configuration except the CPU/CP, delete all program blocks (OB/FB/FC) and only keep the datablocks you want to get access to. You can convert the Step7 V5.x project to V14 and copy the stations into your PC-Station project, or add the PLCs with the correct address manually, and using DB-Sourcefiles you create in Step7 and import in TIA as external source.īefore trying to convert the Step7 project, I'd clean up the project so the conversion will hopefully run without problems. Without using the PLC Proxy, you can add the PLCs manually as dummy-PLCs into your PC-Station project. But for 900 variables I think it's not the way to go. You can create the symbolic file manually in the Symbol Editor (hope it's already there in V15). Is there any method so that i can recover the symbols and put it in the OPC server ? I need the symbols because i have 900 variables. i can access the DBs in the project through Scout10. I create the project and configure it, then i created the XDB file and import the station with OPC configuration, it worked. It's a bit of playing pretend, but Siemens stuff tends to be pretty backwards compatible. I think if you configure the new OPC server (V15) with the most up to date version that Simatic Manager has, it works. cfg file in TIA portailĪny Idea how to solve this problem, i need an OPC server V15 communicate with 2 PLC running on Simatic Step 7 V5.5 I tried to export the blocks(.AWL) and the hardware configs (.cfg) then import it in TIA portail V15, it generates a lot of error for the FCs that have been built in STL, and i could not import the hard ware configs from the.When I try to migrate the project from S7 to V15 it comes with alot of errors.The PLCs are ruuning under step 7 program V5.5 so i can not add OPC V15 in the HW configs.

I want to upgrade the PC station, so i installed SIMATIC net V15 to be compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2 (my new station). I have a system of 2 PLCs Siemens CPU 315 - 2PN/DP (with a program Simatic S7 V5.5) and PC station runs Siemens OPC server Simatic net V7 ,and they are connected over Ethernet.
