Configuration

Configuration is implemented using the SIMATIC WinCC flexible Standard or Advanced engineering software (see HMI software/SIMATIC WinCC flexible engineering software).

Projects created using ProTool can be migrated to WinCC flexible.

Applications/options

• WinCC flexible /ProAgent
