Hi every one.

i have a program written in S7 314c-2DP, very simple just start and stop a motor. and i want tor control this motor via the hmi by using wincc, i don't know how to connect them together or how to make the hmi controlling the motor instead of the push buttons. i really need your help because I'm beginner in using hmi and wincc.

Hello crazy;

Since you are placing this post in the Simatic Panel section, I wouldd think you mean to use a OP or TP panel, with WinCC Flexible software as programming software. The panel will still connect to the PLC, where the control porogram would run for the motor; you would essentially replace the pushbuttons by virtual buttons shown on differewnt screens of your panel.

If this is correct, and please correct me if my view is wrong, here is a "Getting Started" manual for WinCC that should give you some hints as to what is required to plan your application:

Hope this helps,

exactly what I meant.

I will read the manual and see if i can find what I'm looking for.

thanks allot.

hello

I went through the manual, and it's very helpful but still missing what I'm looking for. my project is operating a motor via a PLC by using the HMI to start and stop and read some parameters.
so as a first step i need just to start and stop the motor by using the HMI. i have the wincc program and i did create a button to start and stop the motor but still don't know how to connect the program with the PLC program. the manual shows everything about creating objects but not how to make them control the program in the PLC. i'm still missing this point.
