Conversion Protool to WinCCflex - connection 'lost'

L.S.,

Busy with conversion a project from ProTool to TIA via WinCCflex. In the first step - Protool to WinCCflex - a strange behavior in the connection between HMI and PLC, it is lost. It can be repaired for connecting over DP, but I would like to know if it is really OK.

See attachment for the following pictures:

• HMI_Connection_ProTool_a.png - Connection PLC <> HMI is OK.
  Connection is configured for ProfiBus at 1,5M via interface IF1B at address 9 to PLC-address 2.
• HMI_Connection_WinCC_a.png - Connection PLC <> HMI is NOT OK.
  After conversion into WinCCflex, the HMI is not longer connected to the PLC.
  The interface at the HMI is 'orange'.
• HMI_Connection_WinCC_b.png - Connection PLC <> HMI is NOT OK.
  In the column 'Station' the choice for 'No station' and 'MPI' are available. There is no option for DP. The interface at the HMI is still empty and the settings still 'prepared' for DP with 1.5M at address 9.
• HMI_Connection_WinCC_c.png - Connection PLC <> HMI is NOT OK.
  In the HMI-interface selected "IF1B MPI/DP". The connection is still Not Connected and the settings in the HMI are changed from DP at 1.5M at address 9 into MPI at 187.5k at address 1.
• HMI_Connection_WinCC_d.png - Connection PLC <> HMI is NOT OK.
  After selecting the 'No station' option in the column 'Station', the HMI and PLC are connected over DP at 1.5M at address 9. So it looks like to be OK.
• HMI_InstalledSoftware.png
  The installed Simatic-software, running virtual at a VM.
• HMI_NetPro_NotAtDP.png
  The HMI in WinCCflex is visible in NetPro, but only with a MPI-option.
  The HMI is connected (see "HMI_Connection_WinCC_d.png"), but that connection is not visible in NetPro. Even if the HMI in WinCCflex is changed from address 9 into 10.

I can't test the conversion (yet), because I don't have the equipment at my desk.

What is happening during the conversion?
What is going wrong?

Project original:

• PLC - Step 7 V5.4
• HMI (TP170B) - ProTool V6.0 sp3

After conversion the HMI

• PLC - Step 7 V5.4
• HMI (TP170B) - ProTool V6.0 sp3 (still available)
  
• HMI (TP170B) - WinCCflex 2008 sp1
