Hi,

do you have PLC and HMI in one TIA-project? It is possible to have HMI as Runtime V17 in TIA portal V18

AutoGen_5819022

[..]

I have a proper license (WinCC Professional) but I frequently get the following error. Could someone please help me?

You need the named licences (WinCC Professional Engineering license is not sufficient):

• WinCC Runtime Advanced V17
• Logging

Hi. 

AutoGen_5819022

[..] However when I run the simulation, the Start button on the screen does not glow. Similarly several other HMI tags do not receive data properly from the software. I believe there is no proper connection between the WinCC and Tia Portal. [..]

just read in your first entry that it is not working in simulation. Did you select the correct interface in "Setting the PG-PC Interface"?

What do you mean with "several other HMI tags do not receive data properly"? Some tag values are read correctly from the PLC and some don't?

Regards,

Frink

I don't know if it can be helpful but the HMI need to have a current date/hour. If you let 2016, the tags will not work between Tia Portal and Wincc. I had the issue this week. Maybe this info can help you.

Good luck.

 Hello This could be a good tip because in newer FW Versions of the PLCs there is used a secure HMI Communication setting in the Security settings of the PLC. If its active there is used a custom certificate for communication and this has a validitiy date. So the Date/Time has to be set properly on PLC and HMI.

-> Some words to the License.

For Simulation you will not need a runtime license. It will work also if a License box comes up:

(only if you run a Advanced RT on a productive system and not in silulation you should use the proper RT Licenses)

PGPC Interface setting could also be the problem as suggested.

If you are not sure, then please send a Screenshot from PGPC Settings and the connection editor in your HMI Project where we can see the connection details like Access Point
