I have a project running on a CPU315-DP Processor using Step7 V5.5. There is currently 2 HMI Units (TP 170B Mono & MP370 Touch) that have been configured using Protool V6.0 SP2. I would now like to add a Mobile Panel 170 and have the following questions:

1. Can the Mobile Panel be configured using Protool?

2. Is it possible to run a Step 7 Project with some HMI devices configured using Protool and others using Win CC Flexible?

3. On the Protool Configured HMI I can display an output field which is linked to a real value in the PLC (output from FC105 scaling function) which represents 0 to 60000 millibar. In the object properties of the output filed I can use the convert tab to scale the PLC value to 0 to 60. I can then display the value as 0.000 to 60.000 Bar. Win CC Flex does not have the conversion function and it won’t let me move the decimal place when it is looking at a real value. How can I display the value on the Mobile Panel as 0.000 to 60.000?

Hello AutoGen_939219

1.) a Mobilepanel 170 you can program with Protool but a Mobilepanel 177 you can only program with WinCC flexible or TIA portal

2.) Yes you can

3.) I think you can use a linear scaling in the Property of the Tags in WinCC flexible.

Have a nice evening
