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.
- "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.
- 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.

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.) |

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.
