No, I mean about using WinCC Flexbile or WinCC Professional and make there app looks like HMI einvoirment, but it runs on Windows,

as normal app. So you can control your PLC over the PC Station, no HMI need.

Using WinCC you can communicate with PLC eg. by Modbus by RS485 or by RS232 via serial communication, also OPC is possible.

I believe there you can use SoftGOT2000 option in GT Designer3. I haven't used it but the Mitsubishi website makes it sound like it is what I understand you are looking for.

The only reason I haven't tried it yet is because it requires a separate license and we are using the GOT hardware units on site.

From the new project wizard in GT Designer3 (GOT2000):

Hope this helps.

Yes, SoftGot turns any PC into an HMI, but a license (USB dongle) is required, which costs $1000+.
I personally use it for new projects until the GOT terminal arrives.
SoftGot allows 3 hours of work without a license. When the 3 hours are up, you can use it again after restarting the SoftGot software.

If you want a Mitsubishi solution, use SoftGOT.  It lets you create HMI screens and not have to buy the HMI.  You could also use any third party SCADA software that offers drivers for Mitsubishi.  Aveva, Ignition, IFIX, or a dozen others.
