This Readme file contains important information for current product deficiencies that are corrected by WinAC MP 2008 Update 4. Please read this information before you install and operate the software. This Update is cumulative; it also includes the corrections of previous Updates. Before installing the WinAC MP 2008 Update 4 software, ensure that WinCC flexible 2008 SP1 and WinAC MP 2008 are already installed on your engineering system. When Update is installed on your engineering system, you will need to transfer the runtime files of the WinAC MP 2008 option to the multi panels of type MP 177, MP 277 or MP 377 (incl. DayLight). If the option was already installed on a multi panel MP 177, MP 277 or MP 377 (incl. DayLight), it must be uninstalled before Update 4 transfer. Note: If additional languages are installed on the engineering system after installation of Update 4 of the WinAC MP 2008 option, a reinstallation of Update 4 will be required. The following behaviour is corrected by WinAC MP 2008 Update 4: With the current Service Pack 3 of WinCC flexible 2008, the system functions of WinAC MP 2008 Update 3 are no longer supported. With Update 4, you will again be able to use the WinAC MP system functions without restriction. Use of the WinAC MP system functions with WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 If you wish to migrate a user program from WinCC flexible 2008 SP2 to WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 in order to use it with WinAC MP , follow these steps: 1. Remove WinAC MP 2008. 2. Install WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 3. Install WinAC MP 2008. 4. Install Update 4 for WinAC MP 2008 5. Migrate the user program from WinCC flexible 2008 SP2 to WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 Result All WinAC MP system functions are now also available to their full extent with the migrated project.

If the option was already installed on a multi panel MP 177, MP 277 or MP 377, it must be deinstalled before Update 3 transfer. Note: If additional languages are installed on the engineering system after installation of Update 3 of the WinAC MP 2008 option, a reinstallation of Update 3 will be required. The following behaviour is corrected by WinAC MP 2008 Update 3: If several external communication partners were sending a connection request at the same time when starting up WinAC MP 2008, it did happen sporadically that not all connections could be established. During startup of WinAC MP in connection with PROFIBUS DP communication, it could happen in rare cases that the loaded STEP 7 user program was not recognized. Due to an improvement in PROFIBUS DP communication, this behavior no longer occurs.

The USB Memory Stick on which the license keys are delivered is intended and released exclusively for the transport of license keys between configuration computers. The USB Memory Stick is not released for use with SIMATIC HMI Panels (e.g. backup/restore, archiving).
Further Information
The following sections of the manual provide you with a detailed description of the screens: Description of the Home Screen Description of the Tuning Screen
And...
You need: An Ethernet or PROFIBUS connection between the configuration PC and HMI device or a Serial RS232/PPI Multi Master cable for serial transfer (for example to load the MP 177 and MP 277 the first time) between the configuration PC and HMI device (order no. of the cable: 6ES7 9013CB30-0XA0). SIMATIC NET if you want to use Ethernet communication (SIMATIC NET CD V7.0 or V7.1). Devices necessary for process control connected to your HMI device using PROFIBUS DP (for example, ET 200).
