Connection to Siemens F PLC

We have just setup the EWON Cosy 131 to the PLC, Connection to the Cosy works okay, and with broadcast mode i can find the Siemens PLC in accessable devices on TIA portal, but can not connect to it.

Any information regarding connection protocols or IP addresses from your guides dont seem to cover this issue.

Thanks

Hello,

Can you check if you have the device set to use TCP mode instead of UDP? I’d recommend rerunning the VPN/Talk2m wizard. There should be an advanced button somewhere in that wizard and after you click it there should be a force to TCP button. I think it may just be running into issues because of the UDP connection that you’re using.

With a UDP connection, its good for realtime data but it runs into issues if any packets are dropped. This can cause some issues with remote connection to devices. I think if you change it to TCP so it has the packet correction then that may fix the issue you’re running into.
