Dear guys. My plan is using wincc Runtime professional V18 for SCADA. Before, The construction company only hands over to us the .fwc file without Original Tia Portal project. Because this company didn't exist anymore, so we couldn't get Original Tia Portal project. How can i get Connectinal list and HMI tag list from .fwc file? Thank Much. ---

You missed a turn somewhere, this is not the place you were looking for. Though I'm sure some people around here have experience with Wincc and might be able to help you... That's kinda like going to a Fender shop and asking where you can get Gibson parts. ---

Moved this to General where this kind of question is allowed as long as your expectations are low. ---

To be fair, though, we have a lot of expertise on here in a lot of different things. But, on the slim chance the OP is _not_ a bot and is just showing really poor forum etiquette, then this area of the forum is the correct one. That said, if the OP had done a modicum of Googling, they would have almost immediately come to the correct answer: > You can't. It's a runtime file. You need the original project file, or you have to remake it.
