Siemens OP3 & S7-216 programming

Siemens OP3 & S7-216 programming

(OP)
I have a question about mating a Siemens OP3 with an S7-216.
Right now I have the 216 operating a home solar heating system. I programmed it with MicroWin 3.2, I have a couple of OP3's & Protool Pro. I have been able to program the SCREENS I want(4 analog temperatures & status), but am unable to get the PLC to send the analog values OR status bits to the OP3.I use port 0 for the programming & want to use port 1 for the HMI.
  Do I have to write a communications routine in the PLC to accomplish this?? The books aren't much help & so far I'm lost.Just a bit of experience would Help please. tnx Harold
