Make sure to perform a rebuild all and fix any errors that may have occurred during the conversion process.
Success! This will open the project in WinCC Flex. Browse to the correct project, and select the ProTool project you wish to convert. You can also browse to the project (via My Documents) if you know the project path. This will allow you to select a project you’ve previously opened in Simatic Manager. On the left browser bar, select “STEP 7”. If you do not see this option, the version of WinCC Flex you have is SP3 or newer. If you’re not sure, in WinCC Flex, select Help > About, and check the version number. In WinCC Flex SP3, the option is no longer available to convert a ProTool project. These features can greatly reduce the time it takes to program your HMI, as well as open up opportunities to use a number of new features.īe aware that when you begin the conversion process (with WinCC Flex), you will need WinCC Flex SP2 or earlier. WinCC Flex/Portal support a huge number of new features. ProTool was phased out in 2004, with support ending in 2010. 
When configuring the HMI project for the newer panel, you may find ProTool is unable to be configured to support the panel. Many current Siemens HMI panels do not support ProTool.
There are several good reasons to convert your project from ProTool to WinCC Flex. So, what do you do if you have an HMI stuck in ProTool? Luckily, the conversion to WinCC Flex is very straightforward. ProTool is the predecessor to WinCC Flex, and was phased out in 2004.
Most people (myself included) are most familiar with WinCC Flexible and Portal as the two primary Siemens HMI software packages. ProTool is an HMI software package from Siemens.
