Will this work with simply using profibus cable as PPI cable which would be connected to one of the CPU ports? Also i would like to know if its possible to connect the1.stpanel trough PPI to S7-200 and then connect the second panel to the1.st HMI trough RS or ethernet cable?Will the second panel see trough the 1.st and be able to connect S7-200? About bars and gauges on MP277, is it possible to make custom objects using VBS and if its possible is there any ready objects on sale or do i need to code them myself?

The most interesting part is the 2nd table which shows al the numbers combined with baudrates. Which HMI components can you connect with S7-200 CPU and what should you watch out for when doing so?

You onlyneedthe SIMATIC S7 communication driver in WInCC flexible. If both panels have an ethernet port you can use Sm@rtAccess via ethernet. Bars and gauges arestandard objects of WinCC flexible. If thevalue in plc not theright display value you can changevalue by the linear scaling of the tag. You find the options in the properties of the tag. Bye

Thx, But actually i wanted to know if its possible to create your own bar, gauge etc, objects? Thisbecause i feel that some ofthese features arebit limited for our needson Siemens panels. Just to be sure.. so two MP277 can be connected together with ethernet and then in example 1.st panel can connect PLCusing PPI? Both panels will have diffrent kind of program inside, will this work with smartacces? What i understood from documentation is that smartacces is somekind of remote use for panels... So is PPI network my only option without without using MPI/DP module with S7-200?
