This topic is a few weeks old already but for your information, sometimes 'All is well that ends well':
Our connection handling problem is solved after some help of the Siemens support. Interfacing with the SLS S7 driver to a Siemens PLC directly connecting to a CPU315-2 PN/DP works fine now.
The problem we had was a timing issue. Most likely the PLC tried to initialize functions to quickly after booting. That made the TCON function got locked sometimes.
HTH,
Jens
