Establishing the HMI connection

Procedure
The WinCC RT software is integrated in the SIMATIC HMI devices (e.g.
Basic/Comfort/Mobile Panel) and permits data exchange over HMI connections.
No HMI connection exists between the WinCC RT Advanced software and the
S7-1500 Software Controller at the time of the configuration.
To establish a HMI connection between the WinCC RT Advanced software on the
S7-1500 Software Controller, proceed as follows:
1. In the network view, switch to "Connections".
2. Click on WinCC RT Advanced.
3. Draw a line from the WinCC RT Advanced software to the S7-1500 Software Controller
(e.g. CPU 1505SP) while keeping the mouse button pressed.
A network connection is established between the two devices.
Reference
You can find additional information on configuring an HMI connection in the TIA Portal online
help or in the STEP 7 and WinCC Engineering V15
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109755202) system manual.

Downloading a project to the target system

Key statement
To set up your automation system, you need to download the project data you generated
offline to the connected devices. This project data is generated, for example when
configuring hardware, networks, and connections or when programming the user program or
when creating recipes. The first time you download, the entire project data is downloaded.
During later download operations, only changes are downloaded.
Proceed as follows to download the configuration:
1. Select the complete PC system in the device view.
2. Right-click on the PC system.
3. Select the option you require in the "Download to device" menu command.
Note
Note that the options available to you always depend on the selected device.
