I'm not sure that you can activate Smart Server without the original project file, because the selection is in the hardware config of the HMI, in the project.

Update the HMI project to TIA v15 then you don't need a license for the Smart Server, you just activate it and it works.

Depends what version of TIA you are using. From v16 -> you can just double click on the monitor value and it opens a box where you can change the value. You can also use the VAT table to write the individual bits of the tag.

If you are using a PC Adapter, it's not only a "MPI Cable" is't a lot more. Test with those settings, the are the standard setting for Profibus. You can check the setting of the PROFIBUS: Master system, and see what the transmission rate is, so you can select the same from PG/PC interface.

You CPU has a Profibus network, and you are trying to use MPI to connect. Choose PC Adapter DP (Profibus) for the interface. The transmission rate, start with 1,5mb,

I would try to create the visualization by BYTES, so one BYTE tag for each character place in the string. Seems like that HMI can't use String directly, because you need to use absolute addressing. If you use DBD extensio, that occupies 4 Bytes, so 4 characters only.   Btw, if you don't define a maximum lenght for the string in Siemens, it will be 255 characters.

I have no idea what HMI that is, so hard to help. In a Siemens HMI, you just drag-and-drop the PLC tag to the HMI, and you're all done. Might be that you need to show the string as Bytes of character on that HMI, if it doesn't support String format. Siemens String has the first 2 bytes ( byte 0 and 1) informin the lenght of the string and how many character there are. So byte 2 -> is the actual characters of the String.

I don't follow what you are trying to do. If you have a string in a DB, you can directly use it your HMI. You can't move a String to a Memory tag.

You need to have a 1500 series PLC, to use GRAPH

Here's a screenshot of one of the parameter pages, look what i have marked there.

Are you using the DGB to commission the drive? I would suggest you to use Movitools software from SEW do to commissioning of the drive. It's a lot easyer to commission with that software. Disable the fieldbus from parameters. Here's a complete manual for the device: MOVIDRIVE® compact System Manual

Read the manual, the control types are explained there, and what parameters you need to set to control it through the terminals.

Contact your nearest Siemens rep, and ask from them. To download a license key, you need to buy the license key from an official Siemens rep, and they will provide you with a download link.   The TIA basic license covers Basic HMI's and 1200 series PLC's only. If you need to use other PLC's, you need a Professional TIA license. If you need to use a safety PLC, you also need TIA safety license. IF you need to use Comfort panels, you need WinCC Comfort license also. And so on... clear, isn't it?

DBG11A-01 is for MOVIDRIVE series VFD's FBG31C-01 if for MOVITRAC 31C series VFD's

Firstly, go and see the PLC diagnostics buffer, to see the cause for the error. Post a picture of the hardware configuration in Online mode, so we can see the symbols on the nodes.

Don't use == (Equal), use >= (Equal or greather than). When using REAL tags for that purpose, with Equal comparison, you run into problems.

TIA15.1 doesn't support firmware v4.5 for 1200 plc's. You just configure it with the latest firmware you have on TIA15.1 and that's all. If you get some errors, they are from other reasons.

Contact your local Siemens office for the software.

Ask the HMI manufacturer for help, if they have  doc's how to make the connection.

Haven't used a KTP400 in a long time. Have you compared that both displays have the same functionalites available? I always have the recipe control in the PLC it self, so it doesn't matter what HMI is used.

You can find all Siemens manuals from SiePortal.

What you need is the original engineering copy of the program with comments. Depends on the original programmer, the DB structure might be custom, so nobody else than the original programmer knows it.
