Old Omron RS232 communication to New WinCC v7

[grey 0]

Good day experts! There's an old WinCC system (v4 running on Windows NT) that includes Omron CPUs (SYSMAC C200HE CPU42) which communicates via RS232. The WinCC PC station has 9-pins male RS232 port, has "Simatic WinCC OMRON C-Series Hostlink" on installed softwares and also has "OMRON C-SERIES HOSTLINK" on WinCC Tag Management (Driver). Now I want to replace that old WinCC station. Do you think I can also have all of this on the newer PC and WinCC versions available today, say WinCC v7 on Windows 7? If not, what do you think could I do to communicate the said Omron on RS232 with WinCC v7? Thanks for any response!

You can always use an OPC Server. But I would highly doubt if they had the driver back then that they would not offer it now.
