– Configuring and display of communication links The system prevents faulty inputs by offeringonly allowed entry options on the parameter assignment screenforms. Forthis parameterization hardware-module-specific screen forms andrules are provided for each FM and CP (is included in the FM/CPfunctions package). This parameterization also occurs within the hardware configurationin the same way as the parameterization of the other modules. – Function module (FM) and communications processor (CP) parameterassignment: Thus, a change of amodule can be made without another parameterization. Parameterization of hardware modules occursautomatically during the CPU’s acceleration. Adjustments via DIP switches becomeunnecessary. The user can specify all the adjustable parameters of the modulesin input screen forms. Theentered data are filed in system data blocks in the CPU. Properties such as restart characteristics and cycle-timemonitoring can be set menu-driven. – The configuration of the distributed I/Os is done in the same wayas the configuration of the non-distributed I/Os channel-granularI/O modules are also supported. – Configuration of the automation system Racks are selectedfrom an electronic catalog and the selected modules are assigned tothe required slots in the racks. The tool Hardware Configuration is used for configuring andparameterizing the hardware used for an automation project. Changes to a symbol parameterare therefore automatically recognized by all tools.

The symbol charts that are generated when this tool is used areavailable to all software products. – Data exchange with other Windows programs – Definition of symbolic designations and comments for the processsignals (inputs/outputs), flags and blocks With the tool Symbol Editor all global variables (in contrast tothe local formal parameters that are declared when the blocks areprogrammed) are managed. The SIMATIC software tools that are necessary for processingthe selected data are automatically started by SIMATIC Manager. It provides a common entry point for all SIMATIC S7, C7 or WinACtools. The SIMATIC Manager manages all data belonging to an automationproject, regardless of the target system (SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC C7 orSIMATIC WinAC) on which they are implemented. – Configuring and parameterizing the hardware SIMATIC STEP 7 contains convenient functions for all phases of anautomation project: It enables the user to use the performancecapability of these systems easily and conveniently. Basis just means "base" package, with no options included.Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 software is theprofessional tool for the SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC C7 and SIMATIC WinACautomation systems. My guess is that you want Step 7 v5.5 Basis. This can allow you to test to make sure you the software does what you want.

These versions work for a 2-3 weeks, but then will require a proper license to continue.

Siemens also offers trial versions, either as a nominal fee to ship you the DVD or often as a free download. It includes options for all languages that the PLC supports, with the main exception being that Safety is still an optional addon.Īny software mentioned above would support all of the functionality you mentioned, with the exception that there is no STL for the 1200.

Step 7 Professional supports almost all recent Siemens PLC's: 1200, 1500, 300, 400, WinAC.
#WHAT IS THE LATEST VERSION OF SIEMENS STEP 7 FULL#
Step 7 Basic provides full functionality for the S71200 PLC, which does not support the STL language. The TIA Portal only includes hardware that was actively sold in 2007 or newer, so it may not include some of your hardware of the legacy systems are older than that. I assume they mean efficiency as related to engineering time, because it needs a much faster computer. Step 7 v13 is part of the TIA Portal, and is part of an effort to make an easier to use and more efficient programming environment. HOWEVER, you only need this if you plan to use the safety features of a fail safe processor, which would mean a 315F, instead of a 315.

The only fail safe programming languages are F-LAD and F-FBD. Distributed Safety is an option that is used for programming fail safe PLC's.
#WHAT IS THE LATEST VERSION OF SIEMENS STEP 7 CODE#
PLCSim, a PLC code simulator, SCL and S7 Graph are all options that are included if you buy Step 7 Professional. Step 7 Basis includes the 300, 400, et200s, c7, and any other S7 PLC, except the newest lines. I'm not sure if Step 7 Lite exists any more.

If you have been using Step 7 for years, then this is what you would be familiar with. Step 7 v5.5 (with SIMATIC Manager) is the version that has existed for a long time. Both packages are actively developed current software, but the SIMATIC Manager version will be going away eventually.

The newer software is Step 7 v13, and it is part of the TIA Portal. The older version is the "classic" Step 7, using SIMATIC Manager. Some of your confusion may come from the fact that Siemens has two different versions of the Step 7 programming package right now.
