To access the current process values of the automation system (PLC) with <strong>WinCC</strong>,<br />
a connection between <strong>WinCC</strong> and the automation system has to be configured.<br />
The communication is handled by specialized communication drivers, the<br />
channels. <strong>WinCC</strong> possesses channels for the automation systems SIMATIC<br />
S5/S7/505 as well as manufacturer-independent channels.<br />
To add a communication driver, right-click on "Tag Management" in the left<br />
side of the <strong>WinCC</strong> Explorer window.<br />
In the displayed pop-up menu, click on the entry "Add new Driver".<br />
