1. Requirements

• MS Windows 2000 Pro SP4 or MS Windows XP Pro as from SP1
• WinAC Basis as from V4.0, WinAC RTX as from V4.0, WinAC Slot as from V3.3
• WinCC flexible Advanced
• WinCC flexible Runtime
• STEP 7 as from V5.3
• SIMATIC NET as from CD 11/2003

2. Configuration of WinLC and WinCC flexible RT
You can configure WinLC and WinCC flexible Runtime (WinAC) in the SIMATIC Manager both in a SIMATIC HMI station and in a SIMATIC PC station.

2.1 Configuration in a SIMATIC HMI station
The table below explains the procedure for configuring the WinLC and WinCC flexible RT in a SIMATIC HMI station.
 

No.	Procedure
1	Create a STEP 7 project Create a new STEP 7 project with the SIMATIC Manager. Place a SIMATIC HMI station in the project with "Insert > Station". Bild 01
2	Select the operator panel Select the operator panel "WinCC flexible RT". Bild 02
3	Open HW Config and add WinLC Double-click on configuration to get to the hardware configuration for the HMI station. The application WinCC flexible RT was automatically inserted into the HMI station rack in slot 3. Add a WinLC to slot 2 from the hardware catalog "SIMATIC HMI station > Controller > WinLC". Save and compile the configuration. Bild 03
4	Start the Station Configuration Editor and set parameters Start the Station Configuration Editor via the toolbar or the icon on the desktop (SIMATIC NET must be installed). With "Add...", you place a WinCC flexible RT and a WinLC on the same slots as in the hardware configuration (here: WinCC flexible RT slot 3 and WinLC slot 2). Bild 04
5	Copy the station name Copy the station name from the Station Configuration Editor and then use it to name the HMI station in the SIMATIC Manager. Bild 05
6	Activate the "S7RTM is installed" option Right-click on the SIMATIC HMI station in the STEP 7 Manager to open the "Object properties...". Switch to the "Configuration" tab and activate the option "S7RTM is installed". Close the "SIMATIC HMI station" dialog window. Bild 06
7	Parameterize the PG/PC interface Open the "PG/PC interface" in the menu "Tools > Set PG/PC interface" of the STEP 7 Manager. Set the access point to "S7ONLINE (STEP 7) -->  PC internal (local)". Bild 07
8	Start the WinLC Controller Start the WinLC Controller. Bild 08
9	Transfer the hardware configuration Change to the hardware configuration of the HMI station again and load it via "PLC > Download to Module". Close the hardware configuration of the HMI station.

2.2 Configuration in a SIMATIC PC station
The table below explains the procedure for configuring the WinLC and WinCC flexible RT in a SIMATIC PC station.
 

No.	Procedure
1	Create a STEP 7 project Create a new STEP 7 project with the SIMATIC Manager. Place a SIMATIC PC station in the project with "Insert > Station". Bild 09
2	Select the operator panel Double-click on Configuration to get to the hardware configuration for the PC station. Add a WinLC to slot 2 from the hardware catalog "SIMATIC PC Station > Controller > WinLC" and a "WinCC flexible RT" application to slot 3 from the hardware catalog "SIMATIC PC Station > HMI". Bild 10
3	Open HW Config and add WinLC Save and compile the configuration. Start the Station Configuration Editor via the toolbar or the icon on the desktop. With "Add...", add a WinCC flexible RT and a WinLC to the same slots as in the hardware configuration (here: WinCC flexible RT to slot 3 and WinLC to slot 2). Bild 11
4	Start the Station Configuration Editor and set parameters Copy the station name from the Station Configuration Editor and then use it to name the PC station in the SIMATIC Manager. Bild 12
5	Parameterize the PG/PC interface Open the "PG/PC interface" in the menu "Tools > Set PG/PC interface" of the STEP 7 Manager. Set the access point to "S7ONLINE (STEP 7) -->  PC internal (local)". Bild 13
6	Start the WinLC Controller Start the WinLC Controller. Bild 14
7	Transfer the hardware configuration Change into the hardware configuration of the PC station again and load it via "PLC > Download to Module". Close the hardware configuration of the PC station.

3. Configuration with WinCC flexible
 

No.	Procedure
1	Open WinCC flexible   Navigate in the SIMATIC Manager via the SIMATIC HMI STATION or SIMATIC PC STATION to "WinCC flexible RT > Communication > Connections" and double-click in the right-hand project window on "Connections". => WinCC flexible opens. Bild 15
2	Activate the connection Activate the connection displayed between WinCC flexible RT and the WinLC via SOFTBUS. Note: Alternatively you can also activate the connection at Runtime with the system function "SetConnectionMode". Bild 16 You can then continue with additional configuration (tags, pictures, messages etc.) in WinCC.
