Server- Client
  |  | Posted by Ahmadreza Tarakameh  on 28 September, 2012 - 3:16 am |
I'm going to Configure two PCs as WinCC server & Client Using PCS7 V7.
I need if any procedure is available.
also I need to Connect this Wincc PCs to a redundant 412 CPU via ethernet. How should I configure this PCs. right now the Wincc is connected just to one of CPUs.

Hi,
In order to make a redundant connection from a WinCC station (server or single station) you need a CP1613 or CP1623 in your PC and the license SIMATIC REDCONNECT. This allows you to create a redundant connection from the PC to both S7-412H CPU's. You can find the configuration in the manual, however if you have only one server and one client, I would advise you do install a redundant single station in stead. That would be a bit more expensive but in case one PC fails, the other would still be completely functioning while in your scenario if the server fails there is no operation possible any more.
Hope this helps,
David

Hi,
In order to configure Server & Client, you can use normal on board LAN card. Using DVD PCS7 V7 to install PC Server to become OS Server and PC Client to become OS Client.
You need to create a PCS7 project and adding two PC Stations as same way as you add S7-400 Station.
PC station which you wish to become Server should be configure with WinCC Application.
PC station which you wish to become Client should be configure with WinCC Client.
You will develop HMI programming on OS Server, after that a server data file will be created in compile procedure. The OS Client just need to click to select Server.
That is general principle. In order to have detail procedure, you should look for a PCS7 manual. Everything will be clear.

Your redundant 412 CPU is CPU 412H or not? When you do programming, you should use S7_connection (Named connection). An OS Compile shall be done. The tag will be automatically created on WinCC. Your WinCC will work with your redundant CPU 412H system properly.
