Dear All,

I worked with HMI in notebook for last 5 years but I never worked with Simatic Panel or other touch panels. I am sorry if the questions are too silly!! 

So, can anyone please help me to how to start and what is the basic communication difference between them? And also, where can I start writing my PLC progarm? Is it in notebook and send it to touch panel or Simatic panel have it's own PLC inside? And if I send it from notebook, then do we need to do some additional programming?

Please let me know.

Thank you.

Regards, 
Salman

Dear Christoph,

So, 1st, we need to to download PLC program to PLC with the help of communication device (MPI/Profibus/Ethernet). And then, after finishing download, we can use that communication device (MPI/Profibus/Ethernet) with the Simatic Panel. 

Am I correct? If not, should I have to use 2 communication devices? 

Please let me know.

Thank you.

Salman
