The PLC will be programmed using PCS 7 v9.1, and the HMI will be programmed with WinCC Comfort v19 for the SIMATIC HMI TP1900 Comfort. The communication between the HMI and the PLC will be established via Ethernet. I would appreciate your guidance on how to integrate the HMI panel into the PCS 7 project for visualization and control of various sections of the system. Additionally, could you provide information on the necessary hardware and software requirements for this integration? Are there any alternative solutions or best practices I should consider during the planning and integration process?

Interface blocks in the Industry Library connect these elements for seamless integration. Establish Communication: Configure Ethernet-based communication between the HMI and PLC. Use device proxies if using TIA Portal for configuration and ensure that WinCC Comfort is compatible with PCS 7 settings for easy access and synchronization. Panel Configuration: Set up the Comfort Panel in TIA Portal, using the device configuration wizard, to assign correct IPs and data paths between the PLC and the HMI. For further detail on these steps, configuration settings, and best practices, please review the attached document, which provides a comprehensive guide on integrating operator panels into PCS 7 systems Attachment 50708061_application_pcs7_panel_integration_en.pdf (318 Downloads)

Additionally, there is a redundant Modbus TCP/IP connection from this switch to the DCS. Do I need to configure the SCALANCE switch in the PCS 7 hardware configuration for this setup? Looking forward to your feedback.
