Security Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that
Informa- support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
tion In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber
threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only
form one element of such a concept.
The customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants,
systems, machines and networks. Systems, machines and components should
only be connected to the enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent
necessary and with appropriate security measures (e.g. use of firewalls and
network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be
taken into account. For more information about industrial security, please visit
http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them
more secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon
as available and to always use the latest product versions. Use of product
versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may
increase the customer’s exposure to cyber threats.

1.1 Task
Question
How do you migrate a project integrated in STEP 7 from WinCC flexible to WinCC
(TIA Portal) V15?
Task
Your customer has an MP 277 Touch configuration integrated in STEP 7.
For a subsequent plant/machine only the MP 277 Touch configuration described is
to be migrated to WinCC (TIA Portal) and replaced by a Comfort Panel.
Solution
A description is given in the example of the separate steps for migrating the MP
277 Touch to WinCC (TIA Portal) V15.
Note Bear in mind that with WinCC (TIA Portal) V15 and higher some operator panels
of earlier versions are no longer supported (Operator Panels, for example).

3. Copy a project from STEP 7
By default the "Save Project As" pop-up menu displays the folder view of the
STEP 7 project from which you wish to copy the HMI project.
Search:
You can save the HMI project directly in the folder structure of the current STEP
7 project. However, it is recommended to create a separate folder in which you
store the HMI project. You can select a path and folder in the drop-down list box
(1).
File name:
You can either apply the preset file name or give the project a new name.
After making the appropriate settings you save the configuration by clicking the
"Save" button.
The HMI project is saved and this completes the "Copy from STEP 7" procedure.
You can close WinCC flexible and STEP 7 again.
