and Panel PC 477B-HMI/ -HMI/RTX products and the pre-installed system configuration.

This documentation also describes the following:
●

Differences between WinAC RTX as described in the WinAC RTX documentation and the

pre-installed, pre-configured WinAC RTX that executes on the Microbox 427B-RTX/ -

HMI/RTX and Panel PC 477B-HMI/RTX.

●

Differences between WinCC flexible as described in the WinCC flexible documentation

and the pre-installed, pre-configured WinCC flexible that executes on the Microbox 427B-

HMI/RTX and Panel PC 477B-HMI/ HMI/RTX.

Prerequisites

This documentation is intended for engineers, programmers, and maintenance personnel

who have a general knowledge of programmable logic controllers. Persons using this

documentation also need knowledge of Windows XP / Windows XPembedded operating

systems, STEP 7 programming, and PC-based automation with WinAC RTX.

Scope
