For a G120 there is not much difference between Starter and Startdrive so it is a HUGE advantage to have everything in TIA Portal. If you are using Portal for your plc there are only a few reasons to use Starter
When i try to connect 1215C PLC it was not possible to connect. it says " The Connected CPU is currently not supported as IO Controller for the G130 CU320-2 PN. Disconnect the master system." do you have any idea on that?
@@jasonwattsae Yeah. With G120 it was easy to communicate. so we thought G130 also possible. unfortunately, SIEMENS doesn't share same good feature in their components. 😞 I Tried with both V17 and V18. CPU 1215C V4.5 and G130 CU320-2 PN V5.1 Any clue?
Unfortunately, I have never tried to use a 1200 cpu with a G130, only 300 and 1500. It sounds like a software restriction, which they may have introduced with later firmware versions on the G130. I would try lower versions of G130FW (4.x) as there were major changes in 5.x that included some licensing and restrictions...
Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for 👍👍
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Thank you brother from Vietnam, hope to see more about S120 and G120 drives videos

That is strange. What version of Portal, FW on the PLC, and FW of the G130 are you using?
