Hi guys, I would like to connect the VIPA PLC (Vipa 315-2ag12) to Ignition with IHB Link S7++. The IBH Link is all default settings just the IP address is different. In the network I can ping this IP address, but the Ignition can't connect this PLC. In the Ignition, the device connection is all default setting. I select the S7-300 PLC and set the right IP address. My question is, where and what should I setting to make this a good? On the IBH Links or on the Vipa PLC or on the ignition? I am really new in the Ignition programming so I am really open any idea! If you need more information just write it! Thank you! ---

Yes, I saw that before. In your config have "Own station address: 10" this is important or not? Because in my config it is 0. ![20240409_104952](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/6/864a5919d243b4794cba2bed087a32974b96345e.jpeg) And can I connect the VIPA PLC to Ignition over the MPI? Thank you for your help!! ---

The Own device address is the address that the IBH will have on the MPI/PPI bus. If the 0 already exist, then you would not be able to communicate. ---

And can I set something in the PLC? ---

Port 0 is not occupied. So that is why I think the 0 is good for me. ---

Can you go online with the programming software? ---

Usually, I do this with the PC adapter via MPI, but if this module is inserted, I can also connect to the PLC via Ethernet through the module and program it. ---

~~Have you done [this](https://support.inductiveautomation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047576831-Connecting-to-Siemens-S7-1200-and-S7-1500) in the HW config on the PLC (and downloaded)?~~ Edit: I was to fast... this is S7-300... Are there any messages in the Ignition Gateway logs? ---

Thanks you for your help! I tried before this with trial version, but now I tired with complete licence and it works now! All settings is default. Connected and works! Does it matter if I wanted to connect to the device with a licensed version? Thank you! ---

> [@Molnar\_Bence](#): > > Does it matter if I wanted to connect to the device with a licensed version? No, it doesn't. In Trial, Ignition is running for 2 hours, after that YOU have to manually reset the trial to start again... if you don't, then nothing works...
