First, ensure that your network hardware and PLC connector cable for either Ethernet

PLC communication is operating properly.
If your CPU is in RUN mode, a dialog prompts you to place the CPU in STOP mode. Clicking
"Yes" sets the CPU to STOP mode.
Note
Each project is associated with a CPU type. If the project type does not match the CPU to
which you are connected, STEP 7-Micro/WIN SMART indicates a mismatch and prompts
you to take an action.
