The S7-200 PC will be replaced with a 1200 series in the future, is there any way to use the old TP177 touch panel with them? The touch panel version I have is the one without an ethernet port, only Profibus/MPI. Is there perhaps a way to use the old TP177B with the 1200 CPU, maybe using the Profibus Master module (3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0) and configuring S7-300 drivers for the TP? Thanks!

Several versions are in use.The newest ones in operation are the 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1. For these ones I read that I can do all the 1200 developments in TIA Portal and then keep using WinCC Flex for the touch panel programming, selecting the S7-300 driver. Is this true?

With WinCC Comfort/Advanched or WinCC Professional you can configure more Panels , not only the basic Panels. WinCC Comfort As WinCC Basic, plus: Comfort Panels Mobile Panels: Mobile Panel 177, Mobile Panel 277 Panels of the 70 series: OP 73, OP 77A, OP 77B Panels of the 170 series: TP 177A, TP 177B, OP 177B Panels of the 270 series: TP 277, OP 277 Multi Panels: MP 177, MP 277, MP 377 Regards Christoph
