Crash on Startup

[Davide3i]

Hello, thanks for your effort.
I'm trying to launch the exe, but as soon as the cmd windows pops up, it gets closed. Is there a way to check for a log?

Hi, this usually happens when port 5000 is already in use on your machine. You can change the port in the appsettings.json file. Can you try with another port and let me know if that works?

[Davide3i]

Yup! That was the culprit.
Is there a way to use the Multiple Adapter Mode?

[jasperdekeuk]

If you click the 3 dots on the right top and go to network settings, you can select this. If you then edit the IP of the controller in the overview page, you should be able to set adapter for each interface.

tbh I have never tested a real scenario of this so feel free to give feedback :)

I'm going to test it right away! S7-PLCSIM V20 UI sucks and doesn't allow me to select an interface when I flag Multiple Adapter Mode: it's buggy as hell.

EDIT: I'm a bit confused by its function. I'm also trying to read the docs from Siemens to get an idea of how to use it.

When I'm trying to set the communication interface on X1, I get Error Code -70 (NotAllowed).

[jasperdekeuk]

can you power off the device and try to set it then? If that's not the solution, I'll have to look into it

[Davide3i]

Powering it off allows me to set the interface, but a message pops out at the bottom of the page: "An error has occurred. This application may no longer respond until reloaded. Reload"

Thanks for your assistance.

[jasperdekeuk]

hmm I'll try to look into it later this week. Thanks for the feedback!

I've managed to make the Multiple Adapter Mode work inside PLCSIM.
