In this multi-part video series, I am showing you how to use TIA Portal to create an application that will run in a standard basic Siemens touch-panel operator interface, or, human-machine interface, HMI for short.
In the previous video, I showed you how to add a 12” SIMATIC KTP1200 Basic touchscreen HMI panel that is Profinet compatible to the hardware configuration of a TIA Portal project.
In this video, I will configure the runtime parameters for the HMI panel and connect the HMI to a PLC, which will be used to demonstrate the operator interface to a simple process.
In the next several videos in this series, the HMI database will be created, graphics screens will be configured, and other features, such as alarms and history will be defined.
In TIA Portal, the HMI visualization software is an embedded version of WinCC Basic, which is very similar to the WinCC versions used in conjunction with Step7. This is good information for those who do not have or use TIA Portal for programming Siemens PLC’s and HMI stations.

In the previous videos, I created the hardware configuration with a PLC and HMI station and also added a simple set of logic to the PLC. Then, I defined the tags required to access values in the PLC from the HMI.
