Introduction

Red Lion has had the chance to test the Siemens TIA WINCC Scada, the mapping mentioned below are the ones that Red Lion or customers have verified with the modules that have been tested.

Siemens TIA WINCC Communication Configuration

1. Navigate to the TIA Portal V15.1 section with new Project.
2. Click on Project View.
3. Click “Add new Device” from Project Tree.

4. Select PC System >> PC Station and Click OK.

5. Select IE general, network driver for PC Station.
   
   
   
   
6. Click Add New Subnet to add host network driver.
7. Update Local Host PC IP Address and Subnet mask in IP Protocol.

8. Select WinCC RT Advance for Scada.

9. Add new screen from HMI_RT_1.

10. Create Add new connection and select Communication Driver Modicon Modbus TCP/IP.
11. Under Parameter in connection Select CPU Type: “Concept, ProWORX: Compact, Quantum, Momentum”.
