Hello, I am seeking assistance with a machine that has a TP170B Color panel from Siemens which is currently not working. I have replaced it with a TP177BB color panel and need to establish communication via Profibus-dp/Slave univ. V6.0. However, the WinCC flexible 2008 software Build V1.3.0.0_1.83.0.1 does not have this driver. Can someone advise me on how to obtain it or provide alternative solutions? Thank you for your help.

Hello, it sounds like you're in quite a tight spot. Typically, for this kind of setup, you might need to update your WinCC Flexible 2008 to the latest version that should support TP177BB panel. However, if for some reason you can't update it, you can try visiting the Siemens Support website for the specific driver you need. It's also a good idea to consider seeking assistance from their customer service on how to go about it. Lastly, please ensure both your panel and software have the same or at least compatible versions - this sometimes easily solves such issues. Good luck!
Hey there! It sounds like you're in a bit of a tricky situation with that panel swap. If your current version of WinCC flexible doesn't support the TP177BB with Profibus-DP, one option might be to check for any available updates or patches for WinCC flexible that could include the necessary drivers. Alternatively, consider reaching out to Siemens support directly, as they might have access to the latest drivers or can offer a workaround. Another route could be exploring third-party solutions that might help bridge the communication gap. Good luck, and I hope you get everything up and running smoothly!
