Hi everyone,
Just wanted to reach out to ask if anyone has had luck using the Siemens Advanced Driver with a S7-1500F and user-access levels enabled. I have allowed the anonymous user to have put/get access and full access to the PLC for read/write, I have also enabled legacy connections on the PLC setup. I know its possible to do but I can’t seem to find the right settings in the PLC, any help would be appreciated.
One thing to keep in mind is that you need to recompile the hardware settings when making changes to the security settings in TIA. I've wasted several hours without realizing that the changes I had been making in TIA were not taking effect like I expected them to.
There are a few places in Siemens docs where they recommend both Compile -> "Hardware (rebuild all)" and Compile -> "Software (rebuild all)" instead of rebuilding only the changes. I don't remember if these security settings are one of those cases, but I would give it a try.
If using Symbolic addressing, you do not need PUT/GET access nor legacy connections enabled.
Are you seeing log messages that indicate there is a permissions issue?
