Hello Mr. Gonzalo Jimenez,

PLC Modicon Premium (P57 2634M, P57 4634M) do not detect in Unity Pro, and neither in Unity loader. Error in Unity when connecting to the simulator (127.0.0.1):

"Error during connect (This isn't a valid PLC address, or PLC is busy, or media is off)"?

for both PLC Modicon Premium (P57 2634M, P57 4634M.

I send an email on your email address with some photos.

Best Regard,
Mihai Vijulie

Hello Mihai,

I saw your pictures, your problem is that you are telling Unity Pro to connect using a serial port. if you want to connect using XIP driver, you have to tell Unity Pro to do so...

In Unity Pro, go to PLC -> Set Address...
in the window that pops up, in the address section write {1.2}SYS and in the media section select XIP01

It should work.

Be sure to select: PLC -> Standard mode

Good luck! and let me know how is it going.

Just remember that the m340 cannot be connected to using xip. normal ethernet yes but not xip.

Took me a while to figure that one out.
