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 a TCP/IP 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 ethernet cable between S7 PLC (with a profinet interface) and an Operator station/PC with Ethernet port.
In the tag management settings, you will have to select Realtek TCP/IP driver instead of PLCSIM (since i was using a simulator)
