game4automation Starter Edition Questions
Hi Thomas, I'm having a problem with game4automation Starter Edition. After I connect to the S7-1200 and import the .sdf file, but the connection icon is gray, not colored as in the video, but I am following the video, is the starter version supporting the communication of the S7-1200? And how do I complete the communication, I have been worried about this for several days.I would very much like to have your help.
Answer
Hard to say what your problem is. Yes for sure, Starter is supporting S7 interface.
Is it an input or an output what you would like to use. Please make sure, that both are well outside the existing hardware IO adresses, otherwise the hardware status could overwrite the signals from the G4A S7 interface. Do you get any error messages in the console log. Please also check that your PLC is configured like described here:
