  1. CP1413 alternatives?

    Thanks for the reply. There are 17 PLC's connected to the H1 network, the PG port of the CPU is connected to the H1 card and we communicate that way via the CP1413 card in the desktop PC. So from any of the 3 connected PC's we can access any of the 17 PLC's. So we would really only want to be changing the PC side of things. Thanks Phizza
  2. CP1413 alternatives?

    Hi We currently have a small network of desktop PC's that connect to some S5 PLCs via CP1413 cards and the H1 network. Does anybody have experience of using standard ethernet cards in place of the CP1413 cards? What software would be required and how would the step5 package go "online" to the PLC. I think that there is an "H1 line driver" on the current PC's for selection in page 2 of the settings within S5. I have tried to locate this driver on the PC but can't see it anywhere. Thanks in advance Phizza

  5. GRAPH 5 ERROR MESSAGE

    Within graph 5 when modifying a particular SB by adding a step and transition i get the message "SB SYNC CANNOT BE OUTPUT DIRECTLY". The only option is to answer YES and it is impossible to open the block again without restoring the SB from the backup file. I've tried using DB-GEN etc to no avail Has anybody seen this and have a solution? Thanks Phizza

  8. Siemens CP526

    Does anybody have any experience with siemens CP526 cards? Can these be used instead of a HMI panel? We believe that a monitor and keyboard can be plugged into them. We know that they are programmed via comgraph, does anybody have any sample programs that we could have a look at? Thanks
  9. OP30A availability

    Does anybody know if there are any OP30A panels available for sale in the UK or europe? Any info would be appreciated! Thanks
  10. H1 1413 comms card

    Hi Does anybody know if it's possible to communicate via a standard ethernet network card from a PC to PLC via a H1 network? We currently use 1413 cards for this purpose but i was wondering if there was any other way? Thanks
  11. MP370 Desk mounting options

    Can anybody suggest a suitable desk mounted enclosure to hold a Siemens MP370 Multipanel? Desk space is limited, so the smaller the better.. Thanks
  12. Graph 5 file comparison issues

    When comparing 2 files within graph 5, "IDs different" is displayed in the comparison results. There are no obvious differences in the 2 files. DBGEN etc. has been carried out. Has anybody else ever seen this? Thanks
