For Siemens Prodave Driver to work correctly, users must first install Prodave MPI/IE version 6.x. After a successful installation, the dynamic library file Prodave6.dll must be located and accessible on Windows system folder. Siemens Prodave Driver connects directly to this library file.

Users must also define a communication interface on Windows Control Panel, on the Setting the PG/PC interface item. In this location there must be an Access Point named "S7ONLINE". For more information about installation and configuration of that interface, please check the manual corresponding to the product by Siemens AG.
