Hello, I think you are mixing up something. The WinAC MP is an option for Multi Panels based on WinCE. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/34895249 I think you mean the WinAC RTX 2008, or the current version WinAC RTX 2010. This SoftPLC can be installed on WindowsXPpro or Windows7. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/44388946 I hope it helps! regrads me |

I think MP based on RISC (not intel) CPU and WinAC MP not full compatible with Win AC RTX |

Hi, all. Sorry to be a late responder to this message, but I only ran across it today. First, the OP (Ulf K) has posted here because the description of the PC-based Automation category of the forums includes the name, Win AC. It is true that Win AC MP is a product for deploying HMI/Control applications on CE-based multi-panel devices, but as an engineering tool,Win AC MPintegrates into Step 7 and so must be installed on a PC. In this regard, the OP is not mixing up anything, nor is he likely referring to Win AC RTX. Unfortunately, I have encountered the same problem as Ulf K in that I am unable to install Win AC MP on Windows 7. Win AC MP was released as installable software specifically for Windows XP as indicated by the link: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/42713116 Furthermore, as of October 2012, Win AC MP was declared by Siemens a mature product. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/63378583 This article strongly suggests that there will be no further development on this product. So my options for supporting legacy product with Win AC MP are either . . . 1) maintaining a PC with the XP operating system and an installation of Step 7 with Win AC MP and, of course, WinCC Flexible 2008; or . . . 2) possibly configuring XP Operating Mode on Windows 7 and installing a copy of the development software there. XP Mode is essentially a virtual machine that is included with certain installations of W7. I have not tested this option, so I'm not certain that it will work. In either case, I will occasionally have to move the floating license I have for the development software since I possess only 1 set of licenses.With a virtual machine, the license must be moved from the host PC into the virtual system (unless there is a way to network or otherwise share the licenses). It's a small headache, but that's the life of an engineer supporting discontinued products. Kind regards, The Captive Engineer |
