TP177B & s7-1200 1212C PLC Dilemma......

stevechance Posts: 1 Rating: (0)	-- I have a TP177B, I couldn't get a "KPT600PN" because of manufacture delay.....per Siemens rep, and I purchased a s7-1200 plc "cpu 1212c" kit. I was told there was a work around in being able to utilize my TP177b panel and the s7-1200 plc....something about using s300/400 drivers? If so can someone please explain to me how to do this? I REALLY need this to work. Thanks for you guys with this question. Steve Chance
