Hi all,
We have a S7 300 PLC controlling a machine. We use two HMIs for controlling the machine. the two HMIs control different functions. one HMI is OP25 and the other one is OP17. We have planned to upgrade the two to OP277 and OP177. But we are facing a few problems .
1. We do not have backups of the two HMI codes.
2. We have a Siemens PG with Protool and Winccflex installed but cannot communicate with the OP25 or OP17 ( we tried MPI and DP).
I need to know :
1. How to communicate the PG with the OP25 and OP17using either MPI or DP?
2. How to upload the code to the PG using either protool or winccflex2005?
3. How to convert the code to be used for Op277 and OP177?
I am sure once we are able to upload the code to the PG we will also be able to download the new code to the new HMI. Any suggestion or advice is highly welcome.
Thanx in advance,
Rex.
