1 Introduction
1 Introduction
The following FAQ deal with the migration of SIMATIC WinAC MP projects (SIMATIC WinCC
flexible 2008 SP3) to SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal) V11 SP2 Update 3 or newer. A migration of
SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 projects is only possible from SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal)
V11 SP2 Update 3.
Note Compatibility
The SIMATIC MP377 Daylight 15" Touch operator panel is only supported with
WinCC V12!
Objective of the migration

After the migration of your SIMATIC WinAC MP project, you no longer edit it with SIMATIC
WinCC flexible but with SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal).
Requirements and supporting software versions

The following requirements must be satisfied and the following software has to be installed:
• All required software versions (TIA Portal, WinCC flexible, STEP 7, etc.) are
centrally installed on an engineering station.
Figure 1-1
• The following TIA Portal components are required (min. WinCC Comfort):

Note Comparing the transfer

The options transfer can be compared with the options transfer in WinCC
flexible.
3 Migrating a Project
3.1 Migrating STEP 7 and WinCC flexible project
Instruction
In order to migrate a STEP 7 project (with HMI project) to the TIA Portal, proceed as follows:
2. Select the portal view.
Figure 3-1
3. Select the "Migrate project" action.

4. To be able to accept the old WinAC MP hardware configuration to the TIA Portal,
enable the “Include hardware configuration” option box.
Note
If you are using WinCC V11 SP2, the “Exclude hardware configuration" option box has
to be disabled in order to transfer the old WinAC MP hardware configuration to the TIA
Portal.
5. In order to start the migration, click the “Migrate” button. The project is created and
migrated.
Figure 3-2
Result
The following message is displayed after a successful migration.
Figure 3-3
Confirm the message with the "OK" button.

Detail of the migration process can be viewed via the migration protocol. The protocol includes
e.g. information on the number of tags and S7 station names.
3.2 Final check of the migrated components

After successful project migration, you should check the following subcomponents for their
completeness in the TIA Portal project:
• HMI components
Figure 3-4
• WinAC MP components
Figure 3-5
4 Additional Checks after the Migration

4.1 Checking the IP address (HMI device)
After checking all subcomponents, you can change the IP address of the respective HMI device
and if required, change it. Select the respective device in the device view, in order to display the
IP address in the inspection window.
Figure 4-1
4.2 Checking the standard images in the project library

The transferred option WinAC MP 2008 in chapter “Transferring option” (page 10) offers you
two preconfigured standard images in WinCC V11 SP2, as was already the case with WinCC
flexible:
● WinAC_MP_Home
Figure 4-2
● WinAC_MP_Tuning
Figure 4-3
The preconfigured standard images are stored in a global library. The provided images are
already switched with internal tags and respective WinAC MP system functions.
The "WinAC_MP_Tags" copy template is additionally available to you in WinCC V11 SP2.
Figure 4-4
This copy template (WinAC_MP_Tags) is required, since the existing tag connections are not
supported because of moving the preconfigured WinAC MP standard images to the respective
TIA Portal project. They have to be moved separately first to a newly created tag table. The
preconfigured WinAC MP standard images (Home Screen and Tuning Screen) are provided
with internal tags by being moved to the new tag table. Due to this, all already existing WinAC
MP system functions are supported.
4.3 Checking the provided system functions

The WinAC MP system functions provided in the TIA Portal are already switched or connected
with the two preconfigured WinAC MP images.
Figure 4-5
4.4 Checking the provided HMI tags

The internally provided tags for WinAC MP in the TIA Portal are already internally switched or
connected with the two preconfigured WinAC MP images.
Figure 4-6
5 Downloading the Project

5.1 Downloading the entire project to the device
Introduction
After checking or adjusting the IP address, the complete software and hardware configuration
(here: WinAC MP configuration and HMI project) can be loaded to the device.
In this example, the fastest way is described. The hardware configuration of WinAC MP 2008
and the software components used (HMI project) are transferred via a download process to the
HMI device.
Prerequisite
● The following transfer settings have to be made on the HMI device:
– Channel 2: Ethernet
– Enable Channel “enabled"
– Remote Control “enabled"
● The project was migrated.
● The project data is consistent.
● The device to be loaded is available via online access.
