WinCC flexible RT on the SIMATIC Embedded Bundles. WinCC flexible ES is a separate product and does not ship with SIMATIC IPC427C-HMI/-HMI/RTX or SIMATIC HMI IPC477C-HMI/-HMI/RTX. The runtime configuration file settings for the default administrator user ("Administrator") are pre-configured to D:\ locations.
Your runtime settings are now configured to be retained after a reboot. NOTICE If you ever restore your SIMATIC IPC427C-HMI/-HMI/RTX or SIMATIC HMI IPC477C-HMI/-HMI/RTX from a custom system image DVD (Page 37) or from the restore DVD (Page 41) and subsequently create a new Windows user, you must again change the runtime settings to D:\ drive locations.

You cannot load the WinCC flexible RT via PROFINET or PROFIBUS if the interfaces are submodules of WinAC RTX. In this case, you must load the WinCC flexible RT project via a second Ethernet interface or by USB transfer. SIMATIC IPC427C Bundles, SIMATIC HMI IPC477C Bundles Manual, 07/2009, A5E02280126-02...
