8.6 Configuring a connection

Until now, we have worked in our project without access to the SIMATIC S7 controller.

We also want to display fill levels and enter fill quantities on our panel.

For operating and display objects that access the process values of a controller, a connection to the

controller has to be configured first.

Here, you specify how and via which interface the panel communicates with the controller.

Double-click Connections in the project window.

All parameters have already been set by the settings in the device configuration.

Save the project.

The bus error LED on the CPU goes out after successful loading to the panel.

Note

To create a new connection, double click the free field in the first column.

Change the connection parameters of the newly created connection.
