hey, it's always fun to watch your videos... I've learned so much from you, thanks! I have one question on uploading a project... do you have to know the IP address of the PLC? do you have to be on the same subnet, or is it ok if you leave the ethernet adapter on DHCP? I'm trying to upload a code from an old cpu 315-2 pn/dp... hopefully I can do that from TIA Portal. Thanks again!
Is it possible to protect the program with a password? I mean, I have a PLC, let's say S7-1200 or S7-1500, running with a working program. I connect the my PC to the PLC and follow the steps described in this video to backup the program. Now I have a fully working project on my hands. In my case, I would want to have some protection there. I don't want random people to be able to go our PLC's and backup our programs and be able to use them. Would it be a possible to have a password prompt before starting the upload? Or would it be possible to have all the data hidden in the project if no correct password is given?
Thank you for this tutorial , I have a question when tying to do backup and when uploading it fail to do that and it shows the message --Action cancelled before uploading from the device, what could be the problem?
Hi thanks for the awesome videos. Helping me out tons. I’ve been trying to figure out if it’s possible to do online edits on an S7-400 or S7-1200. I guess I mean do an edit offline and then send only the changes so the plc stays running and operational. Thanks.
Hello, congrats for sharing all, very helpful. Just a question, when you Upload the program from PLC to PC and go online to monitor it, this process will not stop PLC operation? The process will be working normally no stop at all because of uploading?
Hegamurl, you have a lot of good videos. Thank you. I have 1 question for this video, if we upload the program from the PLC, whether is it TIA or Simatic Manager, will the Connection or NetPro uploaded as well? Thanks for your respond in advance.
What about the GSD files. Say I have 10 special. hardware connected to the plc. When I change something in one GSD file, do I need all the other GSD files to save the updated hardware configuration
Can you also download from HMI? We have PLCs and the contractor who installed them did not give us correct backup program. The programs we were given as backup are different from the ones running in the controllers . The system uses MCCG HMI , so how can we get backup for both PLC and HMI
first of all thank you for making very informative and learning video for us. how we can save all current parameter from running plc with uploading Program like save all PID running parameter etc
Does anyone know how to correct the Siemens S71200 backup with software and hardware? The project was created with tiaportal v11 and in this version the backup can only be backed up by the software, thus creating a backup that needs corrections. I can pay for the help.
Thanks a lot for making this knowledgeable & simple video. I'm a fresher & want to make career in IA, so what necessary skills that required to make bright career in this field? Please guide, Awaiting respons. Thanks in advance.
Once I did it but didn't worked at all. It doesn't upload Forced values (or forced tables) so I couldn't do it as simple because it wasn't easy to know which tags had to be forced, for example in that case, some digital inputs.
...and, at this point, at least 3 more questions arise spontaneously... Is there something similar about retrieving the HMI project?? Are there ways to get the actual runtime on a new project (or the same you used to retrieve the sw as you explained)?? ... and what if you would like to retrieve on the project a runtime backup stored on the HMI SD-card??
What if my CPU is in another network, that im connected to? How do i "Upload device as new station"? I can go online on the CPU through routing, but not find it when looking for it

Thanks for the tutorial! I have a question. Is it possible to upload an hmi project in order to edit it? Or the upload only covers the plc hardware/software?
Question: if give a laptops with multiple versions of software and a plc how do you tell what kind of version that is already uploaded on a plc. For example Tia portal version 15.1 or versions 16 or any other version.
Hi, Thank you for such a nice explanation. I am facing an issue like the PLC is running TIA V14 SP1 but my PC has V15.1 and I am not able to create a backup file. Any suggestion will be highly appreciable.
Hello, I have a CPU 1214C DC/DC/DC and only view as available station but when i want upload to pg says: "The select object PLC_1 cannot be uploaded from device". I have TIA v13. Could you help me please?

Hi Hegamurl Nice job man,through your videos its good to correlate with real life scenarios.Good job pro. I do have any issue while downloading backup from physical PLC....I have 2 PLC of 1212C and 1214C....When I tried to upload first one got downloaded and while doing the same for the second one it's show station name is not unique I tried to change device name....but still I faced issue .....could you pls support on this...mean time I tried to upload the config from HMI using same method....that also failed....as I don't have back up for any of my station PLC,driveS120,HMI..I would appreciate your reply or a new video...
Thank you for this tutorial , I have a question . I want asking you if there are a videos about Industrial communication ( Profibus , Industrial Ethernet , Modbus , MPI , Profinet )
One video won't be enough to cover those topics. There is quite a lot to all of them! Will make some stuff later on, but mainly on PROFINET, as it is the one being developed the most and I think will be the one true standard at some point. (except of course for some Sensor/Actuator to PLC interface, but that is not really communication)
IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPLOAD FROM A LOCKED CPU, Program backup lost and CPU also locked by system integrator and ran away. Now customer not able to change anything, we have to upload from CPU. Please advise is it possible?
Hi sir, I tried the same way that you did in the video while uploading am getting below error. 1) loading will not be performed because precondition are not met. 2) restrictions for uploading to PG/ PC
