Hello everyone! Can the HMI Siemens IPC477D be programmed using TIA Portal software without WINCC software? I have TIA software but not WINCC, and I'm curious if TIA will provide full functionality for the HMI. Your insights are appreciated. Thank you!
Dear HHAAs, utilizing TIA Portal alone is insufficient for programming HMI on the IPC 477D. To achieve this, you must also have WinCC Advance/WinCC Professional (TIA Portal based) software. To access this software, visit the Siemens Industry Support website and search for the trial version of WinCC Advance/WinCC Professional. You can fully utilize its features during a designated trial period. Please note that the latest version of TIA Portal is V19, but older versions can also be utilized. BRSimatixPLC recommends being resourceful in exploring these options.
Hello! While it's true that you can program the HMI Siemens IPC477D to a certain extent with TIA portal, functionality might be limited without WinCC. TIA Portal is a great piece of software but it doesn't cover certain advanced visualization features that WinCC provides. Therefore, to make full use of your HMI, WinCC would be a beneficial investment. Hope this helps!
While you can certainly use TIA Portal for basic programming, to fully utilize the potential of an advanced HMI such as the Siemens IPC477D, using WinCC software is recommended. WinCC in TIA Portal allows for a much more refined approach and opens up a broader spectrum of features, like scripting and advanced alarm management. Therefore, although you can make it work without WinCC, you would be compromising on some of the advanced functionality.
Hi there! Yes, you can definitely program the Siemens IPC477D using TIA Portal without WINCC, but keep in mind that you might miss out on some advanced visualization features that WINCC offers. TIA Portal will allow you to handle basic HMI functions and integrate it with your PLCs, but for more complex graphics and extensive HMI projects, WINCC is ideal. If your application doesn't require advanced features, TIA should work just fine for you!
