Hi im having an issue with the AXC F 2152 Controller not showing up online. I have the correct ethernet port selected but when I click “Scan the network” it gives the error
“The NPCAP (system name: “npcap”) driver is stopped. (MSG_ONL0170)”
I have my IP settings for both the Project and computer correct. I can upload an already complete project to the controller but it still doesn’t detect the controller. I have tried multiple restarts of both the computer and PLC.
Have you ever tried by the way that change PG/PC interface ? After that , restart your computer and scan again

This mean you change pg/pc like picture below, i also met the same problem , maybe you need check the ip address again
Untitled Image, have you set obtain or use following ip address ?
Untitled ImageIt’s my personal experience, I only know that because I’ve seen it
You should try to remove the npcap service from your network card. You can find it if you select properties of the network card.
You may need to restart your computer after you have removed the npcap service. After that, you can re-install the driver again. Network card → properties → services.
The PG interface has not much influence here. But Siemens TIA and PLCNext engineer using the npcap driver for the device discovery. Sometimes this generates issues for PLCNext Engineer or NetNames.
In all the cases I have seen, the removal and re-installation of the npcap service have solved the issue.
you can also use powershell with administrator rights and type the following command: net start npf
