Problem with PLC Uploader in control Structure - Failed to browse for branches in the namespace! Invalid pointer
I try to Import Objects from Simatic Net OPC Server configured with Simatic TIA V16. Past configuration with TIA V13 works.
This is the log I recive:

Not sure about your version of the Siemens OPC server. However WinCC Runtime Advanced in TIA Portal V16 definitely does NOT support browsing with the OPC-DA server. Only the OPC-UA server can be browsed.
Check that browsing works using a third party OPC Client.
