Configuration Notes
Direct data communication between an FM 357-2 and a panel or Runtime (ProTool, WinCC flexible) is possible. However, it depends on the operator panel in each case as to which mechanisms are available for direct data communication.

  1. "Mirroring" the FM data in the S7 CPU (for all operator panels)
    The variables (also R parameters) of the FM can be transferred to the memory of the S7 CPU and then read out by the operator panel. The variables are transferred into a DB of the CPU with the NC-VAR-Selector tool. This is a component of the FM 357 configuration package.
  2. Direct data communication between the FM 357-2 and the operator panel
    The HMI creation system to be used (ProTool or WinCC flexible) depends on the operator panel used.
Operator panel Data communication between FM and operator panel
Line devices

OP7 / OP17
(only with ProTool)

(Communication over PROFIBUS can only be made with an OP7 / OP17 DP.)

  • Special functions like display of subprograms and selection of NC programs
  • Direct access and symbolic configuration of all data types of the FM
  • Protocol used 1): SIMATIC S7 - NC
Graphics operator panels

OP/TP 27,
OP/ TP37
(only with ProTool)

  • No special functions available
  • Access to the FM only by means of data blocks, calculation of addresses with NC-Var-Selector
  • Protocol used 1): SIMATIC S7 -300/400
Windows CE-based operator panels

177 series 2),
277 series 2),
377 series 2)

170 series,
270 series,
370 series

(Data communication with A versions of the above devices is not possible.)

With ProTool:

  • No special functions available
  • Direct access and symbolic configuration of all data types of the FM
  • Protocol used 1): SIMATIC S7 - NC

With WinCC flexible:

  • Special functions like display of subprograms and selection of NC programs
  • Direct access and symbolic configuration of all data types of the FM
  • Protocol used 1): SIMATIC S7 - NC

(The SIMATIC S7 NC protocol requires the SINUMERIK options package SINUMERIK HMI configuration package WinCC flexible.)

RT software/ panels

ProTool/Pro RT,
WinCC flexible RT
WinCC Advanced Runtime
Comfort Panels
Basic Panels
Panels
Mobile Panels
Multi Panels

  • No special functions available
  • Access to the FM only by means of data blocks, calculation of addresses with NC-Var-Selector
  • Protocol used 1): SIMATIC S7 -300/400
1) The protocol is set ...
    in ProTool under "Controllers→Protocol",
    in WinCC flexible under "Communication→Connections→Communication Drivers".
    in WinCC Advanced  under "Connections→Communication Drivers".
2) You configure these operator panels only with WinCC flexible.
