Applications/options
WinAC MP software PLC for Multi Panels WinAC MP option for MP 277 (software PLC similar to performance class CPU 315) The I/O can be connected via Profibus DP
Note:
Utilization of the software PLC requires WinCC flexible 2007 or higher and MP 277 hardware with integrated retentive memory
WinCC flexible /Sm@rtAccess; remote control and monitoring as well as communication between different SIMATIC HMI systems (see HMI software/Runtime software SIMATIC WinCC flexible /WinCC flexible RT options)
WinCC flexible /Sm@rtService; remove maintenance and servicing for machines/plants via the Internet/intranet (see HMI software/Runtime software SIMATIC WinCC flexible/WinCC flexible RT options)
WinCC flexible /OPC-Server Communication with applications (e.g. MES, ERP, or office applications) of different manufacturers (see HMI software/Runtime software SIMATIC WinCC flexible/WinCC flexible RT options)
