Hi MSKehribar,

This is an international and English-speaking forum, so please keep that in mind when posting.

Hello everyone,

I have step7 prof V18 and wincc prof V18 on my computer. I want to use MTP700 series hmi panel in my project but I could not find this panel in tia portal V18.

What should I do to use this hmi?

To configure a WinCC Unified device, the WinCC Unified engineering software must be installed. This is not installed by default and may be blocked by other software already installed. You should try to run the setup for STEP 7 and WinCC Unified again and select WinCC Unified. If it cannot be selected, the message that appears will tell you more about the current restriction.

For further assistance, please refer to the list of installed SIMATIC software from the TIA Portal.

Kind regards
Stefan

Hi MSKehribar,

It is not the licenses that prevent you from using WinCC Unified. When installing STEP 7 and WinCC you have to select WinCC Unified yourself, it is not pre-selected. You should start the setup routine again and select WinCC Unified for installation.

If you also want to be able to simulate the panel on your PC, you must also install WinCC Unified PC Runtime. However, this may be prevented by the installed WinCC Professional Runtime.

Kind regards
Stefan

Hello MSKehribar

You have already installed WinCC Professional V18 on your system. You cannot Install WInCC Professional V18 and WInCC Unified on one System (only in V19 its a new possibility)

So I Think you have to use another Computer or VM or you would have to unistall TIA Portal V18 and the SQL Server instance of WinCC Professional in order to be able to install TIA Portal with WinCC Unified activated

Hello MSKehribar

No, not in V18

Here you cannot install WInCC Professional and WinCC Unified in the same system. You would need different VMs or PCs

In V19 (and only in V19) you can install Unified and WInCC Pro on the same System (but no other Prof/Unified Versions can be installed parallel (only different Unified Versions))

-> Comfort/Advanced is not problem, this will work parallel on any version
