I'm pretty new to working on Siemens PLC (in my case a S7-1500). I want to set-up a OPC-UA server using a customn created information model. However I'm missing the option "Enable standard SIMATIC server interface" in the CPU settings.
This is how it looks like in the Siemens documentation which can be found here
However, this is how my settings look like:
Does anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong? Do I have to install or activate something to make this option appear?
You are doing nothing wrong except that the plc needs a newer firmware, screenshot shows that the plc is of firmware version less than 2.5.
Since your version of tia portal and the mlfb of the s7-1500 is unknown to me, that's the best I can do for now.

I have installed WinCC in a host computer, and I want to get the data from the runtime databases to another computer which is as a web server so I can build a JSP web to monitor and change the parameter of devices below the Wincc. How can I achieve that, please give some advice, thanks!
I use the Industrial Data Bridge and solve the problem.

I've been tasked with setting up some VMs. I've been given some admin details but no further guidance. The server is a fresh install.
My problem is that I'm on Linux/OSX and don't want to run Windows aside from setting up after which I hope to be able to manage things through the web client.
I think there is an ESXi installation. This would be Version 6. How do I set up the web client?
I've installed vSphere Client on a local Windows VM.. not sure what to do with it though.
The documentation is pretty awful and there hasn't been much useful info on the net. I'm really stuck as I didn't set these up and haven't used servers like this before, so I have no context or understanding of the VMWare ecosystem beyond using a virtual machine locally! (even then I've preferred Virtualbox)
Any advice would be amazing
p.s accessing https://[ipaddress]/vsphere-client does not work. Produces a blank browser page... with no html served as an error
If you have the name of the server on which the VMs are stored, type this into the URL of a web browser then it gives you management options or alternatively use this login screen:
I have taken over a CTI project for the Avaya IP Office PBX and am trying to resolve a customer issue for a new installation on site which I also have on my test system in the office. Our CTI application uses the Avaya TAPI driver to communicate with the PBX, I have configured the TAPI driver with the IP address of the PBX, enabled third party mode (I need to see data from all extensions), enabled ACD queues and entered the correct password. I've also turned on debug tracing in the driver. I am using Astice TAPI monitor to check that everything is okay before turning on our application but here is where the problem lies: In Windows only the first extension configured on the switch is displaying in Windows, everything works correctly for this extension and I see call details fine but it does not display any other extensions and this is the exact problem that I have on the customer site.
On my test system, IP Office itself seems to be configured correctly (AFAIK there is not much config to do on the PBX anyway) and the CTI Link Pro license is enabled and displayed as valid and set to never expire.
Does anybody have any idea at all why only the first extension should be displayed?
EDIT: I've since found that this issue only occurs on Windows 7, on Windows XP it is fine. This means that it is highly unlikely that the problem is due to any settings on the PBX.
In the (unlikely) case that anybody else has had this issue it was actually due to the Avaya TAPI driver not supporting Windows 7. I procured a newer driver from Avaya which resolved the issue. These drivers are not generally available so you will need a support or partnership contract with Avaya. Presumably if you are looking at a similar issue then that won't be a problem.
In my case I was trying use password "Administrator" for third-party, and there was one extension in "phone.exe" named "Line unnamed", problem was in password: default is "password".
I am developing an OPC client and need a free OPC server that can both simulate values and set values static. Is there such a server freely available?
I use Matrikon OPC explorer
you can download it for free, just need to register, it can simulate server and client on the same machine and also access servers remotely, i tested it on several OS along with several OPC servers.
here
I am developing OPC client->server->device Emulator (C++)
Check out Prosys OPC Simulation Server. It does exactly what you need.
http://prosysopc.com/opc-downloads.php
http://www.opcconnect.com/freesrv.php
i use Kepware Server ,it restart every 2H, but for testing, is not a problem. Also, you can connect a PLC. In Matrikon you also can do it, but with more limitations..
If you check the www.opcfoundation.org website, you can find tools for creating OPC clients and servers. I don't remember specifically which ones, but some of these come with 'simulation servers' so that you can test your code.
I have project that I'm working on that is going to require a webserver. The webserver will be used to remotely control a presentation using a mobile device.
I see there are quite a few options out there and I'm wondering if someone could provide some recommendations.
My criteria include:
Portable, fits on a USB key
Easy to
run. A user can just click on an
icon, or ideally it would include an
autorun command.
Open Source. I would prefer something licensed under the GPL or similar.
Runs a dynamic server-side language. I see that most have PHP which works perfectly, but I'm open to other languages.
Cross platform if possible.
Right now I'm leaning towards XAMPP, but I would love to hear some suggestions.
XAMPP is perfect for this.
I recommend XAMPP, so I think you are on the right track.
Have not used this, but it looks like it would be right up your alley:
http://www.blackdot.be/?inc=apache/httpserveronusb
Supports perl + php by default.
From the page:
If you are a web developer I'm sure you have had that moment where you went:
"If only I had a web server handy right now!"
Then HTTP Server On USB is something for you! HTTP Server On USB is a fully configured web server that runs from your USB-Key. Plug it in and off you go!
It can be use to show of a website to a costumer, share files with your friends (both ways thanks to DAV) or simply impress people but acting all geeky!
Are you special and do you depend on exotic 3rd party module?
Just drop them in the module folder and edit the configuration file!
Features:
Management Application
Apache 2.2.11
mod_deflate
mod_ssl
mod_security
mod_perl
PHP 5.2.8
ActiveState Perl 5.10
Requirements:
Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows 2003
256mb USB-key
I have had no luck with XAMPP Lite or USBWebserver. What is currently working really well is Server2Go. I could never get XAMPP to run and USBWebserver would not allow me to install Drupal or Wordpress.
With Server2Go, I was able to install Drupal 7 on the USB Flash Drive, however, only with SQLite. I did need to go to the php folder and copy and rename the production-php.ini file to php.ini. There is a php.ini setting that needs to be set for the MySQL DB to be recognized. It is running well with SQLite for Development purposes though.
LAMPPIX - looks like not up to date, but should do the job.
I would suggest Apache, pretty lightweight and has everything you'll need (PHP).
