Configuration of WinCC Professional V12 SP1 project to work with WinLC RTX on a Panel PC

Dear all,

I hope that this is the right place to post, since my issue is quite complex and concerns more Simatic products.

In one of the projects we are using Siemens SIMATIC PC [IPC277D 15''] with Windows 7 Embedded Standard. I created the PLC program for the installed WinLC RTX controller and it works fine, program runs, I could download the HW Configuration and program blocks, all went fine and works good.

There was WinCC Runtime Advanced V13 shipped together withthePC. We want also to create the project in WinCC Professional (I can here use V12 SP1 or V13, but I prefer V12 SP1, I hope thatthis will work fine). I installed thus this WinCC Runtime from the disc. But PLC program and HW configuration is made in STEP7 V5.5 SP3.

How can I create the visualisation project with process tags (data of WinLC RTX) in TIA Portal V12 SP1 and let it run on this IPC? I do not know how to it, how to configure Connections / Communication driver in WinCC Professional project.

One time I created software in STEP7 V5.5 and HMi in TIA Portal, but then I used just S7300/400 as a communication driver over the Ethernet, I assigned IP adresses and defined (typed)all the absolute adresses of my process tags by myself instead of "seeking" in PLC.

But in case of a IPC there is no TCP/IP connection, all is done within one device! I read about so called Softbus, butI cannot select it or find it in TIA Portal.

Could someone help me on this? I apologize admins in advanceif the topic is made in wrong place...

A little update,

I have found this thread in FAQ:

http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/llisapi.dll?func=cslib.csinfo&objId=28017052&load=treecontent&lang=en&siteid=cseus&aktprim=0&objaction=csview&extranet=standard&viewreg=WW

I tested it, indeed I configured my connection in WinCC flexible 2008 SP3.

Is there similar description but for TIA Portal V12 / / V12SP1 / V13?
