S7-300 communication with Intouch

[Mushu]

Hi, I am trying to communicate an intouch application with a CPU-315-2DP and a CP343-1. We have bought the new version of SIMATIC NET, and when I tried to configurate my PC I discovered that it is very different compared with the older version. We have installed SIMATIC NET and the Wonderware I/O driver "Simatic S7". Please, anybody could help me to configurate the PC? I have this two manuals: Industrial Communication with PG/PC and SIMATIC NET Commissioning PC Stations - Manual and Quick Start but I have still problemsss!!!! Thank you.

Use the IO SERVER called 'DASSIDirect-1.0’ which is located on one of the disks called 'Device Integration Products I/O Servers, DAServers' that was supplied by Wonderware. There is a tech note with the IO Server on how to install and set-up. If you are using Windows XP as your PC Operating system you may need a patch to allow the communication to work. Hope this helps
