HMI Basic panels require a PC for a download operation. They do not have memory cards.
WinCC Flexible Micro will be available as long as HMI Micro panels (for the S7-200) are sold.
At this time there are no plans for discontinuing the micro panel.
Library graphics are created in WinCC Flexible.
It is not possible to migrate any library items directly from WinCC Flexible to WinCC Basic.
However, you can copy all the elements from the library to an HMI screen in a project and
then migrate the resulting project into WinCC Basic.
Changing from WinCC flexible to WinCC Basic: A firmware update is not necessary in the
case of WinCC flexible 2008 and WinCC Basic.
The S7-1200 does not support Sm@RtAccess or Sm@rtService.
The TIA Portal provides the tools for managing and configuring the devices in your project,
such as PLCs and HMI devices. As a component of the TIA Portal, STEP 7 Basic provides
three programming languages (LAD, FBD, and SCL). The TIA Portal also provides the tools
for creating and configuring the HMI devices in your project.
