I am a little green with the Field PG connection settings.
I need to connect to the PLC via ethernet link, but cannot find appropriate connection settings (I don't think).
I have the usual MPI, PPI, Auto choices, but none for Ethernet. Are they hidden, do i need to download / update something.
Many thanks in anticipation of any help.
 
Do you have Softnet loaded?
Try this link:
and where it shows the search window "Product name or Part number" then input the following: S79220-A5415-X-02-74 and this will take you to "SIMATIC NET Installation Instructions SOFTNET S7 for Industrial Ethernet".
 
Cheers Sed2developer, i will try that. I just expected the field PG to have all the S7 software available, already installed.
