CHANGE PLC IP ADDRESS TO WHICH HMI HAS TO CONNECT

Hi

I AM USING A S7-400 REDUNDANCY SYSTEM. I HAVE ONE IPC 477D WHICH IS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE BUT MY MISTAKE I PUCHASED ONE KTP1200 BASIC HMI ASLO INSTEAD OF COMFORT HMI. LATER ON I CAME TO KNOW THAT SCRIPTING IS NOT POSSIBLE IN BASIC HMI. SO NOW BASIC HMI IS ONLY CONNECTED TO ONE REDUNDANT PLC(PRIMARY PLC). IT NEVER CONNECTS TO STANDBY PLC IN CASE OF SYSTEM FAILURE.

SO, MY QUESTION IS THAT .......IS THERE ANY WAY SUCH THAT OPERATOER CAN SELECT MANUALLY TO WHICH IP ADDRESS HMI SHOULD CONNECT BY MEANS OF SOME KIND OF PROGRAMMING SO THAT IN CASE OF SYSTEM FAILURE, OPERATOR CAN SWITCH TO ANOTHER PLC BY SELECTING A SWITCH OR DROPDOWN MENU OR ANYTHING ELSE?????

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Hello,

Perhaps this link might help:

Connecting SIMATIC HMI panels with a SIMATIC S7-400H (WinCC V16 and STEP 7 V5.6)

I HAVE READ THE DOCUMENT FOR NON-SCRIPTABLE HMIs..........THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.........

I WILL TEST THE LOGIC VERY SOON & WILL POST THE RESULTS HERE.....
