Network-Published Shared Variable connect with TIA Portal

[alihasanali95]

Dear Experts,

I have a compact Fieldpoint cFP-2100 that has a built-in application with networked-Published shared variables. I would like to monitor these shared variables by using Siemens TIA Portal. What is the best approach to make the TIA read these shared-varibales?  knowing that cFP-2100 is using TCP/IP communication.

Thanks for your answers in advance.

For questions about the TIA, I would contact Siemens support or post in their forums.

That said, NI provides a free tool to monitor NPSVs called the  NI Distributed System Manager that is likely already on your computer (though you'll need version 2015 or order to be compatible with the NI-FieldPoint driver and cFP hardware). You can use it to monitor system resources including NPSVs. Visit the DSM Help pages to learn more.

Additionally, our cFP hardware has reached end-of-life and support will become increasingly limited. Consider transitioning to our CompactRIO platform for long-term project success and for access to updated support resources and examples.
