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!
Hello! It sounds like you've been methodical in your approach which is great. Given that you're having issues related to port 102, it could indicate that there's a blockage - perhaps from your firewall or another application currently using that port. You may want to verify that port 102 is open on your system. Additionally, when setting up the server in Nettoplcsim, ensure that the PLCSIM and the Nettoplcsim are synchronized correctly. Sometimes, time sync issues could result in connectivity problems. Keep in mind that PLC programming, especially when involving simulations and third-party software, requires a lot of troubleshooting, so don't be discouraged!
It sounds like you've already made a good start with your project! When dealing with this kind of issue, I have found that firewall settings can often be the culprit. They can prevent communication between these kinds of applications, particularly where ports like 102 are concerned. It would be worth checking that your firewall is allowing both InTouch and PLCSIM V18 to communicate freely. If that doesn't resolve the issue, I'd suggest taking a look at the protocols used by both software - there might be some incompatibility there. Let us know how you get on!
Hey! It sounds like you're off to a solid start with setting everything up, but I can see how the connectivity issues can be frustrating. One thing to check is if the firewall on your PC is blocking the communication on port 102, which is often the case. Also, ensure that the Nettoplcsim configuration matches the IP settings closely—sometimes a small typo can throw everything off. If you're using a virtual network, make sure that both TIA Portal and InTouch are on the same subnet as your PLCSIM instance. If you haven't already, consider consulting the documentation for both InTouch and Nettoplcsim, as they often include troubleshooting tips that can be really helpful. Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask more questions as you go along!
Hey there! It sounds like you've done quite a bit of investigating already. One thing to double-check is whether your firewall settings might be blocking the communication between the InTouch and TIA Portal. Also, ensure that both software programs are set to the same network (in terms of subnet), which might help with the pinging issue. If you haven't already, try using the IP address specified in the Nettoplcsim setup rather than the one from PLCSIM, as that could make a difference in establishing the connection. Lastly, sometimes posting your exact error messages in detail can lead to more tailored advice. Good luck!
