[Buxexas]

Hi friends,

I nead your help to solve this problem.

Friend of mine, he buy a machine in china with this HMI K-TP178micro connected to S7-200.
He wants to translate all HMI to his language.

Problems:
-No source code to translate
-No software to comunicate
-No cable

I already have the cable RS232/PPI and the software WinCC Flex 2008 with chinese language, but I never work with siemens HMI.

Can you help me to help my friend?

Thanks,
Buxexas

As soon as you find a solution for translation, the machine will crash... So just wait for machine to be broken and than you will have no problem.
Next time do not buy a chinese machine.

Without WinCC Flexible project_source_file.hmi impossible to made change.

With ProSave (it inside WinCC Flexible) you can only made Backup of compiled program.fwx

Problem solved.

I talk with chinese guys and they send the source.

P.S.: you can connect this HMI with a normal cable converter rs232/rs485 .
