Citect communication with Siemens 3152 CPU using PSDirect

Hello All,

I am communciatiing S7-315 2DP CPU with Citect 2018.

I am using PSdirect driver for this. S7-315 CPU has CP343-1 for Ethernet connectivity with Citect and it is installed in Slot 5.

I am using PSDirect1 driver for this and done all the settings as specified in driver configuration manual but not able to connect.

Citect Tag showing #BAD.

In Ethernet backend driver configuration all defined poll blocks shows offscan.

Please help for any clue.

Regards

Hemant

  • Hi  ,

    The latest front end driver of PSDIRECT that ships with Plant SCADA 2020 R2 (v8.30) is 2.07.00.008.

    Jon Pio for some reason, removes the 3rd number from the versioning, which is typically "0". So just be aware of this.

    Also note special consideration for compatibility:

    **Note on the versions:
    The previous versions – PSDIRECT 2.7.6 & Backend 7.10.57.004 are a compatible pair only to each other Versions PSDIRECT 2.7.8 & Backend 7.10.58.002 are compatible with older versions(not recommended) before above and future versions will not have compatibility issues

    I'd recommend downloading and installing the latest backend (7.10.58.002) and front end (V2.7.0.8)

    The first step is definitely to get the Backend communicating with your PLC successfully. Then move onto the Front end (and within Citect runtime).
