Siemens S7 drivers

Siemens S7 drivers

Good morning
We use Zenon 7 to visualize the data points of two Siemens S7 PLCs. We use TCP/IP adapters to connect them to the network. While we can map all data types, inputs, outputs and markers on one of the drivers, we can only map markers on the other. When we look at the configuration files of the drivers one instantly notices the difference in the [FETCH_HWx] entries.
first driver file:
[FETCH_HW1]
[FETCH_HW2]
[FETCH_HW0]
second driver file:
[FETCH_HW0]
The second driver only maps markers. Now before I edit (adding the other two [FETCH_HWx] entries) the second file and risk a system failure, I'd like to hear your opinion.
Attached you'll find a screenshot of both configuration files.
Any suggestions or answers are welcome. I look foward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Martin
