With Siemens equipment I would never say 'the only way' because there is normaly a few ways to do things. I personally find I can't be bothered to read and understand all the documentation to use Siemens HMI products so I'd rather write my own. Ashutosh Dear Pee, Thank you for your information. Can you please provide any documentation in this regard. And one question. Can we transfer the data to Simotion through a PC connected on LAN? There is a range of standard commands for the network connection starting with _tcp When you open the comms you simply specifiy a free port and an IP address. The controller doesn't care where the IP is located so it could be direct or over a lan. The data is sent and received as an array which then has to be processed to move the data into variables. Pee
