Communication between MTP1200 and PLCSIM S7-1200

Denilson Pegaia

Hi,

As form TIA V17 it is possible to use PLCSIM together with WinCC Unified. This makes it possible to test systems simulating both PLC and HMI communicating with each other. It also make possible to simulate project with s7-1200.

SIMATIC STEP 7 incl. Safety, S7-PLCSIM and WinCC V17 TRIAL Download

Dear Mr Denilson
May you suggest me more details or video about communication between Wincc Unified (now Im using MTP1200) and PLCSIM S7-1200, please?
On TIA PORTAL V17, I can simulate MTP1200 on Chrome and then I run normal PLCSIM, but there is no conection.

Thank you in advance.

Split from why can my WinCC Unified not communicate with 1200?.

Hi Sky Nguyen,

You can find a tutorial about this topic here: WinCC Unified V17: Web PC HMI connected to an S7 1500 PLC (in french, with English subtiles)

Good luck !

Hi socrames and All.

I found the problems below: 

1) On MTP1200, I created tag with Absolute Address but on PLC I created tag with Symbolic Type, so It made error on Alarm Table when I use Alarm Table and Diagnostic Table funtion on HMI,
2) On TIA V17, Unified HMI Panels only works with PLC S7-1200 V4.4 or higher.

But on site, Unified Panels still communicate well with real PLC S7-1200 V4.3 or lower, but it's failed when running Simulation.

That's all solutions for my problem. Hope that will be useful for everyone.

Thanks all.
