S7-200 w/ TP177

[Oceanamie 0]

Hello, all. I'm a bit new to PLC programming; I can debug and read through things well enough, but I'm attempting to do something from scratch. I'm using a S7-200 PLC with a TP177 HMI. I was hoping someone could provide me material on how to start doing a project. Or at least, point me in the direction to find some good material. All I basically want to do is be able to start/stop a system, and then be able to record the data (from IO field template boxes) with its reference port on the PLC. I don't think it's that complicated, but not sure where these things are in WinCC flex. If someone could help me find out, that would be great.

TP177 was an add-on software to Step 7 Micro Win called TP Desinger. Not WinCC. Siemens had about 100 example applications for S7-200 on their website when it was still a viable platform, not sure what they did since they replaced S7-200 with S7-1200.

Siemens is very strong in technical support.
