  1. If you are not already in Design mode, click design_mode_button.
  2. In the Asset Catalog, expand the
    Controller Items
     node.
  3. Drag a Siemens S7 Controller (TIA Portal) asset onto the tree in the Asset View.
Use the
Add Siemens S7 Controller (TIA Portal)
 dialog box to add a Siemens S7 Controller (TIA Portal) to the asset tree. You can add an S7 Controller (TIA Portal) in the root or in a container.
The device is added to the asset tree as soon as this dialog box opens. Clicking

IMPORTANT:
  • Make sure you have installed the Siemens S7 Controller (TIA Portal) with TIA Openness on the FactoryTalk AssetCentre agent computer.
    • If you install the Siemens S7 Controller (TIA Portal) after installing the FactoryTalk AssetCentre Agent, you should run the FactoryTalk AssetCentre Agent Controller Launch Control Panel from
      Start
       >
      Rockwell Software
      , and then select
      Repair
      .
    • Make sure that the FactoryTalk AssetCentre Agent Controller is running as an application. For more information, see FactoryTalk AssetCentre Agent Controller Launch Control Panel.
    • Make sure to select a standard Windows domain user account if you are in a Windows domain environment and the FactoryTalk AssetCentre AgentController runs as an application. This allows Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to authenticate between the FactoryTalk AssetCentre agent to connect to the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server. If the AgentController is configured to use a local Windows user account, then WCF won’t work correctly and the FactoryTalk AssetCentre agent won’t be able to connect to the server.
  • Make sure you have disabled the FIPS.
  • If your access level for the PLC is
    No access (complete protection)
    or
    HMI access
    , use the passwords that are set for
    Full access (no protection)
     or
    Read access
     to access.
