3.2. Special Notes
- WinCC flexible with Step7 Integration under Windows 7
SIMATIC Step7 V5.4 is not released for the operating system Microsoft Windows 7. It therefore is not possible to use WinCC flexible and Step7 in the integrated mode under Windows 7. For this a separate release will be carried out at a later time
- Operating System Update of HMI Panel by Routing
If you are asked to carry out an operating system update for an Operator Panel at the project transfer by routing, the project transfer is aborted, because Operating System update by a routed transfer connection is not possible. In this case, execute the OS updateon the HMI device before the project transfer via ProSave. Repeat the project transfer afterwards.
