Greetings to all! I hope everyone is well. I am currently working on establishing communication between Aveva InTouch HMI 2023 and TIA Portal V18. Due to not having an actual controller, I am utilizing PLCSIM V18 for simulation. However, I am encountering difficulties with the virtual environment as InTouch and TIA are not communicating as needed. Here is a breakdown of what I have been using: 1. Aveva InTouch HMI 2023 2. TIA Portal V18 3. PLCSIM V18 4. Nettoplcsim The steps I have taken so far are as follows: 1. Opened TIA Portal and initiated a project with controller S7-1517H-3. 2. Set the IP address to 192.168.0.1 and simulated the program using PLCSIM V18. 3. Despite setting up the simulation, I am facing issues with pinging the PLC IP and establishing communication between InTouch and TIA. I have also configured Nettoplcsim and attempted to set up a server, but encountered issues with port 102 and connectivity. Overall, I am a beginner in the field of PLC and Siemens systems, and therefore seeking assistance to troubleshoot the communication issues between the two software programs. If anyone can provide guidance on how to resolve the connectivity problems, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.
By using PLCSim Advanced instead of Nettoplcim in addition to PLCSim, you can achieve superior results. PLCSim Advanced is specifically designed for external communication and is ready to use without any additional configurations. Improve your PLC simulation experience with PLCSim Advanced!
Hey there! It sounds like you've taken all the correct preliminary steps, so kudos for your persistence. Based on what you've shared, one possibility might be a firewall blocking the connection through port 102. Try disabling it temporarily to see if this resolves the issue. If this doesn't work, ensure your TSAP settings in Nettoplcsim match the ones in TIA Portal. Just a side note, it often helps to double-check simple things like the correct IP address, subnet, and gateway in both your simulated PLC and InTouch. Keep at it, troubleshooting is a huge part of getting proficient in any system!
Hello! It sounds like you're knee-deep in the weeds with a complex task. I've had a similar challenge before. One potential issue could be the simultaneous use of TIA Portal and PLCSIM; they can occasionally create conflict with the local IP. Also, make sure your PLCSIM and Nettoplcsim versions are compatible, and that their settings are aligned. Furthermore, check the firewall. As you're having problems with port 102, it might be blocked, which could be preventing communication. In InTouch, are you pointing to the appropriate IP address and port? Due diligence in these areas has solved similar issues for me in the past. Keep persevering, it's a steep learning curve!
