Can't Connecting S7-1200 to LabVIEW‎

Video connection error. http://www.mediafire.com/?09qzrxjw8c1w77m

Your link leads to a MediaFire page which never seems to quit loading.  If I click DOWNLOAD, I get a 6 MByte MP4 file, which is nothing but background audio.

You might try asking a real question.

You were brave to click on that link, Steve.

Goodness what it could have been.

A quick Google search turned up that a S7-1200 is a Siemens PLC.

Gee, wouldn't that bit of information have been useful in the original post.

Of course, the OP could have been referring to something else completely.

Hard to tell with his terse post.

Are you using Windows 7 or XP?

[msarapong]

Windowe 8 Pro 64 bit

Windows 8 is not going to be supported by the OPC Servers software yet, and I remember seeing a forum that talked about this specific PLC working in Windows XP but not Windows 7.

Thanks for the help.

I think this was the forum I mentioned earlier:

It looks like the S7-1200 is what has problems with Windows 7. You may want to try XP if possible.

Hi All,

The PLC S7-1200 can be connected with no problem to LabVIEW using NI OPC Server 2012 on Windows 7 x64 .. The problem is in windows 8 as it is not supported yet by OPC !
