Solution

  • To setup your PLC in TIA-portal and follow the steps below:

    1. add new device;
    2. select your plc;
    3. set up ip address and device name in the PROFINET interface [X1] in the device view properties;
    4. if you click on accessible devices next to the Go offline button and search the the plc it should find it;
    5. select the plc and press show;
    6. This will bring you to online access of the device;
    7. click on online & diagnostics;
    8. If you expand, I think, the diagnostics tab you should be able to set the ip address and device name of the online device.

    Now you should be able to download. The orange Rx/Tx LED will start blinking. When finished the Error LED is turned of and Run/Stop LED becomes green. Voila... your done.
