Caution
The functions and solutions described in this article confine themselves predominantly to the realization of the automation task. Furthermore, please take into account that corresponding protective measures have to be taken in the context of Industrial Security when connecting your equipment to other parts of the plant, the enterprise network or the internet.

Configuration Notes
Please note the following points if you wish to connect a SIMATIC HMI operator panel to an ET 200-CPU.

Properties of the ET 200-CPUs

• ET 200S CPU
  The IM151-7 CPUs of ET 200S have an MPI/ DP interface.
  In the MPI subnetwork you can use the HMI operator panel to operate the ET 200S CPU via the integrated MPI interface.
  On the PROFIBUS DP the integrated DP interface of the ET 200S CPU can only be used as a DP slave. This means that in addition to the HMI operator panel you need a DP master (S7-300 CPU316-2DP, for example) that operates the IM 151-7 CPU as a DP slave.
  
  If the IM151-7 CPU is operated without DP master on the PROFIBUS DP, communication with the HMI operator works, but a bus error is displayed on the IM151-7 CPU.
  
  Note
  With the DP master module (order number 6ES7138-4HA00-0AB0), which you slot directly next to the ET 200S CPU, you can add a DP interface to the ET 200S, which is configured as DP master. With this master interface module it is then possible to operate the ET 200S without any other DP master on the PROFIBUS DP.
  
  Requirements
  In order to be able to use the DP interface on the master interface module you require a CPU, order number 6ES7151-7AA10-0AB0, and firmware version V2.1 or higher.
  
  
• ET 200X CPU
  The BM147-1 CPUs of ET 200X have an MPI/ DP interface.
  In the MPI subnetwork you can use the HMI operator panel to operate the ET 200X CPU via the interface parameterized as MPI.
  On the PROFIBUS-DP the ET 200X CPU (BM 147-1) can only be used as a DP slave. This means that in addition to the HMI operator panel you need a DP master (S7-300 CPU316-2DP, for example) that operates the BM 147-1 as a DP slave.
  
  The BM147-2 CPUs of ET 200X have an MPI/ DP interface that can be parameterized as MPI or as a DP slave, and another DP master interface.
  In the MPI subnetwork you can use an HMI operator panel to operate the ET 200X CPU via the interface parameterized as MPI.
  On the PROFIBUS DP the ET 200X CPU BM 147-2 can operate on the one hand as a DP slave with an additional DP master (an S7-300 CPU 315-2DP, for example). On the other hand the BM147-2 CPU can also communicate as DP master with the HMI operator panel via the DP master interface.

Warning
The ET 200 CPU is configured in the SIMATIC Manager in a
SIMATIC S7-300 station.

Options for connecting an HMI operator panel to the ET 200 CPUs

• Connecting the HMI operator panel via MPI to the ET 200 CPU
• Connecting the HMI operator panel via PROFIBUS DP to the ET 200 CPU
• Connecting the HMI operator panel (MPI) via routing (CPU 316-2DP: DP master) to the ET 200 CPU (DP slave)
• Overview: HMI operator panel with ET 200 CPU

Connecting the HMI operator panel via MPI to the ET 200 CPU
You can connect the HMI operator panel via MPI directly to an IM151 CPU or BM147 CPU.

2. Version: ET200S CPU with DP master module

1. Version: CPU 316-2DP as DP master, ET200 CPU as DP slave

The ET 200 CPU is operated as DP slave on the PROFIBUS DP subnetwork. This means that in addition to the HMI operator panel and the ET 200 CPU (IM151 CPU or BM147 CPU) you need a DP master (S7-300 CPU 316-2DP, for example) on the PROFIBUS DP subnetwork.

Fig. 05

Description:
After project transfer to an operator panel, the configuration PC crashes or no longer works reliably.
This behavior can be caused by using the "Kaspersky" virus scanner. It occurs as from version V6.0. The crash is due to a security update from "Kaspersky".

Remedy:
The "Kaspersky" virus scanner is not released for WinCC flexible. You can remedy this behavior as follows.

1. Uninstall or deactivate the "Kaspersky" virus scanner.
2. Release the processes "Hmies.exe" and "TransferTool.exe" in the virus scanner.

Introduction
Notes and requirements for S7 Routing
S7 Routing example
Procedure for transfer via S7 Routing  

Introduction for S7 Routing
You can load an HMI project from a WinCC flexible configuration computer to an operator panel over different subnets.
If you implement a router, you can establish a connection between different subnets. A SIMATIC station can act as a router if it has suitable interfaces.
The modules with communications capability (CPUs or CPs), which create gateways between the subnets, must support routing.
To transfer a WinCC flexible project, the WinCC flexible configuration computer must be connected to an MPI bus, PROFIBUS or Ethernet.
The operator panel to which the WinCC flexible project is to be transferred must also be connected to an MPI bus, PROFIBUS or Ethernet.

Notes and requirements for S7 Routing

Notes

• Refer to a component's technical documentation to establish whether it supports routing.
  Alternatively, open the component's object properties in NetPro or in HW Config. The "General" tab contains a brief description of the properties.
  Information about which modules possess routing capability is also available in Entry ID: 584459.
• The requirements that have to be fulfilled to perform STEP 7 routing by means of a PG/PC station are given in Entry ID: 16620173.
• A routing connection for the transfer can also be established by means of multiple routing partners. Routing cannot be used as a means of transferring to PC-based operator panels (PC Runtime) with an activated station manager (Station Configuration Editor).
• In order to establish a routing connection, all the stations within a STEP 7 project must be configured and loaded.
• You must use NetPro to configure all the devices and subnets connected to the network.

S7 Routing MPI / PROFIBUS and Ethernet
Below is a list of the requirements and the supported HMI operator panels and the possible routes for S7 Routing are shown in Fig. 01.

• At least WinCC flexible 2005
• At least STEP 7 V5.3 SP2
• All panels including PC Runtime except PC Station with Station Configuration Editor

Fig. 01

S7 Routing Ethernet with WinCC flexible 2008
The S7 Routing function was extended with WinCC flexible 2008. Below is a list of the requirements and the supported HMI operator panels and the possible routes for S7 Routing are shown in Fig. 02.

• At least WinCC flexible 2008
• At least STEP 7 V5.4 SP3
• You can use only the following devices for routing over the "S7 Ethernet" transfer channel:
  • TP 177B 4"
  • MP 177
  • Mobile Panel 277
  • MP 277
  • MP 377

• Routing over Ethernet is not possible with WinCC flexible PC Runtime.
• In the case of routing by way of SIMOTION CPU 4.1.2, transfer of the configuration over S7 Ethernet does not work.
• Routing from MPI/DP to Ethernet is possible if MPI/DP has been selected in the Transfer settings.

Fig. 02

S7 Routing Ethernet and WinCC flexible 2008 SP3
More devices were added to the S7 Routing function with WinCC flexible 2008 SP3.
Below is a list of the requirements and the supported HMI operator panels and the possible routes for S7 Routing are shown in Fig. 03.

• At least WinCC flexible 2008 SP3
• At least STEP 7 V5.4 SP3
• You can also use the following devices for routing over the "S7 Ethernet" transfer channel:
  • OP 77B
  • OP 177B
  • TP 177B
  • Mobile Panel 177
  • OP 277
  • TP 277

Example of S7 Routing with Ethernet
Fig. 01 shows a routing connection between the WinCC flexible configuration computer (network object: Stations > PG/PC) and operator panel "MP 377 15'' Touch" (network object): Stations > SIMATIC HMI station). The "SIMATIC 300(1)" programmable logic controller acts as a router.

Use NetPro to configure the routing connection between the devices involved.
You must assign the interface of the configuration computer. You can recognize the assignment by the yellow connection line to the subnet and by the yellow arrow in the station symbol.

The procedure for configuring a routing connection is described in Entry ID: 2383206.

Fig. 04

Procedure for transfer by means of S7 routing

1. Open the HMI station in WinCC flexible.
2. Select the menu command "Project > Transfer > Transfer Settings".
3. Select the operator panel.
4. Select the mode and check the "Enable routing" option box.
   The mode must match the communication channel.
5. In the "Next station" box, you select the bus type of the next and the last connection.
   The network addresses of the next routing partner and destination device are displayed.
   Any routing partners positioned between them are not displayed here.
6. Transfer your project by clicking the "Transfer" button.
