WinCC Project on simulated OS

I am trying to run a WinCC project with a simulated OS (S7-PLCSIM1). Is this possible?

Yes it is. As far as I know, S7-PLCSim uses MPI as the communication interface. To begin communicating WinCC to PLCSim,

1. Create a new wincc project (or if you have already created a project, proceed to step 2)

2. Go to Tag Management and click on Simatic S7 Protocol Suite. If you dont have it yet, right click on tag management and click add new driver. Select S7 protocol suite from the choices.)

3. Right click MPI from the Simatic S7 Protocol Suite and select New driver connection.

4. Give it a name and click on properties. Supply all the information from the configuration of your PLC (in hardware config). The Station Address is the MPI address of the PLC or PLCSim. Just leave the segment-ID to default and Supply the Rack and Slot number of the CPU.

5. Click OK.

6. Create Tags.

7. Run the PLCSim and start the simulation..

Hope this one helps you out..
