Problem with Wincc Runtime

Hello, I'm a new user TIA PORTAL and s7-1200. I need to create an application Wincc Runtime on the PC to monitor and control a CPU S7-1200 1212 DC/DC/DC via lamps and  buttons on a screen. But even after creating a program in the main block for the CPU and a screen in the PC, and then compile them without error I'm not getting the results I expected. I describe the lines below the procedures I did.

1 - Add a new device: CPU S7-1200 1212 dc/dc/dc (figure 1 of the attached file).

2 - I set the CPU IP address (figure 2).

3 - Add a new device: PC systems - PC general - PC station (figure 3)

4 - Add from the catalog: SIMATIC HMI APPLICATION - WINCC RT ADVANCED (figures 4 and 5)

5 - Add the communitacion module IE GENERAL V8.2 (figure 6)

6 - I set the IE GENERAL IP address (figure 7)

7 - Connect the CPU to IE GENERAL (figure 8)

8 - I created a simple program in the block main (just to test) and compiled, no error occurred (figure 9).

9 - I created a new screen with a button associated to the tag IN2 (m0.1) and a lamp associated to the tag OUT1 (Q0.0). (figures 10, 11, 12). I compiled the screen and no error occurred.

10 - I checked the connection (figure 13).

11 - I started the run time in the PC and nothing happened. I assumed that by pressing the button, the Q0.0 output would set. But it didn't. 

Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong? or missing something to work? 

Thanks,

Andre.

Hello,

check the PG/PC Settings on the System where the RunTime is running.

Windows control panel -> PG/PC Settings

here for S7ONLINE the INterfacecard which is connected to the plc must be selected.

Thanks.

Hello,

ca you make a screenshot of the Control panel?
Ifg the icon is really not available then it looks that you installation may be corrupt.
