WinCC Explorer is the Scada designer software both as standalone and as a part of Siemens PCS7 DCS.
Simatic Manager is the IDE for logic and hardware configuration of Siemens PLCs.
For Process visualization, monitoring and control, it is imperative to establish communication between S7 PLC program and WinCC scada/HMI. In the video i have demonstrated that how to establish an MPI communication link between the S7 PLC and WinCC Scada/HMI.
I have used a simulator PLCSIM, but you can use physical PLC. All you need to do is to connect an MPI cable between S7 PLC (with an MPI interface) and an Operator station/PC with USB port.
In the tag management settings, you will have to select Realtek MPI driver instead of MPIPLCSIM (since i was using a simulator)
