Posted 7 Jul 2019 Hello guys, Hardware : Laptop with step7, WINCCFLEX ip 192.168.0.223 CPU 315 IP 192.168.0.1 3x 8 input modules 3x 8 output modules program in OB1 : NO CONTAT I0.0 -> COIL Q0.0 I want to create a GUI in WINCCFlex that contains a "start" button that when it's pressed to trigger i0.0 so I can turn on coil Q0.0 via laptop not a mechanical button. So far I created a new empty project in wincc flex. Than I went to connections and selected Ethernet ,for wincc runtime I ve put 192.168.0.223 and for station 192.168.0.1. Than PROJECT -> INTEGRATE IN STEP 7 all good. Now in winccflex under button events I chosed "click" and action " setbit" and selected i0.0 from step 7 project. COMPILE AND GENERATE everything but when I click button nothing happens :(? Any help will be much appreciated! thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 7 Jul 2019 If you want to use a "push button" or a "retentive button " from GUI to activate the output , you have to use a memory bit. You may not activate directly an output from WinCC, it must be trough a memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
