Web Visualization problem in EcoStruxure Machine Expert. TM241

[NelsonGCR]

I'm having a problem with the webserver visualization at the EcoStruxure Machine Expert Logic Builder, with the modicom TM241CE24T/U.

At the youtube channel, @LeTomas helped me with this link (https://www.se.com/in/en/faqs/FAQ000191672/) that after seeing, everything in my project seemed alright. So, with the program that I'm working on, did all specified on that FAQ, and again didn't worked. The htm webpage from the simulator didn't loaded at all.

The thing is, that everytime the simulation starts, the static IP configured at the ethernet tab (on the left side "configured parameters") and all the other parameters, switches to an, let's say default state (found on the right side "actual configuration"). It means that the IP changes, and the webvisualization protocol gets disabled. (photos attached)

The program used for the photos is the sample program from the FAQ page (https://schneider-electric.box.com/s/zz74n6p986h74zk0ao7zddfkhxbk01eg) 

Please let me know if anything is wrong. And this is entirely a simmulation, I don't have the device (yet) and the license is the trial period one. Thanks for your help

Hi @NelsonGCR ,

I believe the problem on the real PLC is that you have a post configuration file, so even if you change the ip address on the ethernet port in Machine Expert it will not change on the real PLC.

You have different options:

1) Go to "MyController" > "Files" > "Cfg" and delete a file something called "machineconfig" (i do not remember the name but there are two files in there)

2) Go to "Build" > "PostConfiguration" > "Edit" and modify the ethernet network to the want that you want.

3) Go to "MyController" > "Communication Settings" and right-click on the controller and select "Edit communication settings" . Once you modify the setting you will need to check the option "Save permanently" (or something similar)

Let us know if this helps 🙂

Best regards

Hi Mr. @LeTomas. Thanks for the help, but unfortunately it didn't work out.

1) I don't have any post configuration files on this project, or at least I couldn't find it. 

2) In the "Build" > "Postconfiguration" menu, it only allows me to use the option "Generate" and not the "Edit" one. 

3) I can't find that "Edit communications settings" option. You can find the photos attached to check or, if you could, keep guiding me.

Thanks for the help. Best regards

Hi @NelsonGCR ,

The webvisualization and the change of communication settings on the controller selection is possible with the REAL controller.

If you do not have the PLC you can not test it in a browser. In simulation it only work the visualization inside the Machine Expert.

Hi Mr. @LeTomas.

Copy that. Thank you very much for the support and help. 

I'll be moving forward to adquire the real controller and keep the work then.

Best regards.
