Overview
Introduction
You can connect the HMI device to a PROFINET network by using the Ethernet port.
Note
The HMI device only has client functionality in the PC network. This means that users can
access files of a node with TCP/IP server functionality from the HMI device by means of the
network. But you cannot access files of the HMI device, for example, from a PC by means of
the network.
If you are using the Sm@rtServer option on the HMI device, operator control and monitoring
of the HMI device is possible from a Sm@rt Client device. A PC or another HMI device can
serve as a Sm@rt Client, for example.
Note
Information on communication using SIMATIC S7 via PROFINET is provided in the online
help of WinCC.
The connection to a network offers, for example, the following options:
●
Printing on a network printer
●
Saving, exporting and importing of recipe data records on or from a server
●
Setting up of alarm and data logs
●
Transferring a project
●
Saving data
