Order the demo CD which will give you a free 30-day trial period.If you are just learning and can’t easily get the software then there are two options. Of course the best type of training is the hands on type but if that’s not an option then you’ll need to start digging in. So we’ll look at the essentials for your journey. There’s a lot of different stuff there thrown together and found in different spots with very long URL addresses to add to the confusion. From a new users perspective I’ve only heard disparaging comments about finding the right information on the Siemens’ website. Learn more about DMC's Siemens HMI expertise.This is a listing of tutorials and manuals found on the Siemens automation website that will get you started on the SIMATIC Step 7 software for S7-300 and S7-400 systems. Simply upgrade with the old project, then right click on the panel in WinCC Flex, and select “Change Device Type”. If you need to convert an old project because you’ve upgraded your HMI, you don’t need to recreate the whole project.
Make sure to perform a rebuild all and fix any errors that may have occurred during the conversion process. Success! This will open the project in WinCC Flex.Browse to the correct project, and select the ProTool project you wish to convert.You can also browse to the project (via My Documents) if you know the project path. This will allow you to select a project you’ve previously opened in Simatic Manager. On the left browser bar, select “STEP 7”.If you do not see this option, the version of WinCC Flex you have is SP3 or newer. If you’re not sure, in WinCC Flex, select Help > About, and check the version number. In WinCC Flex SP3, the option is no longer available to convert a ProTool project. These features can greatly reduce the time it takes to program your HMI, as well as open up opportunities to use a number of new features.īe aware that when you begin the conversion process (with WinCC Flex), you will need WinCC Flex SP2 or earlier. WinCC Flex/Portal support a huge number of new features.ProTool was phased out in 2004, with support ending in 2010. When configuring the HMI project for the newer panel, you may find ProTool is unable to be configured to support the panel. Many current Siemens HMI panels do not support ProTool.There are several good reasons to convert your project from ProTool to WinCC Flex. So, what do you do if you have an HMI stuck in ProTool? Luckily, the conversion to WinCC Flex is very straightforward. ProTool is the predecessor to WinCC Flex, and was phased out in 2004. Most people (myself included) are most familiar with WinCC Flexible and Portal as the two primary Siemens HMI software packages. ProTool is an HMI software package from Siemens.
