Transfer WinCC (Tia Portal) Runtime Professional project to standard PC

Dear friends,

Sorry my english.

I'm trying to transfer a WinCCC V12 (Tia Portal)Runtime Professional project to a conventional PC. WinCCC V12 (Tia Portal)Runtime Professional is installed on this PC.The problem is that only allows me to perform file transfer, but I need to do with ethernet.I have an engineering station (PG) and desire TRANSFER to a PC the project using ethernet. I hope someone can help me, thanks.

Hi,

With WinCC Professional you always transfer (download) the project with a File Transfer.

You then browse via the network to the shared folder of the pc station where you want the project to be downloaded to.

Make sure that the Windows environment is set up correctly as mentioned in this FAQ:

What settings must you make when installing a multiple station system in SIMATIC WinCC Professional?

Also make sure that the Windows user on each computer (Engineering Station and Runtime Station) exist on both computers and has the same password (assuming it is a workgroup configuration).

Thanks Michael.

Then each time you make changes must copy the project
to a shared folder located on the operator's PC. Now 
when I copy a new version of the project I must stop the
runtime on the pc operator manually and then load the new
project and start the runtime again??? Or this happens
automatically as WinCCFlexible???

Hi,

When you select the download, it will automatically shut down the runtime and then copy the project and then start the runtime up again.

Just like with panels / Advanced.

Also, depending on the type of changes it may not be necessary to shut down runtime. You just download the changes.
