#TIA PORTAL V16 UPDATE CODE#
xlsx files between TIA Portal versions, but some parts, like ladder logic and HMI screens can’t be easily exported and reimported to older versions. It's possible to export these as a source, assuming the code can be first converted into structured text language (STL). Many parts of TIA Portal projects, like PLC/HMI tags and HMI alarms, can already be exported and imported as. That’s where TIA Portal Openness can help.įor those looking to revert projects from V15 to V14, this post will outline the process of using TIA Portal Openness to automatically revert a project from TIA Portal V15 to V14 SP1 (note that due to large changes in the XML format, this will not work for versions earlier than V14 SP1).
However, there are times when you want to revert a project to an older version of TIA Portal, something that Portal cannot do. Updating projects from one version to the next is as easy as opening the project in the newer version of Portal.
#TIA PORTAL V16 UPDATE UPDATE#
In this use case, do not project the version of the SENTRON project integrated in the TIA Portal.Siemen’s TIA Portal provides quite a few useful features that make it very easy to update and maintain code. * You can only upload a SIMATIC PLC with a connected SENTRON device in SIMATIC STEP 7 (TIA Portal) V15.1 and V16 if you have placed the SENTRON device using GSD or GSDML. When using F-HMI panels, F-Drives, SITOP devices, PACs*, a station upload can block the S7-1500 controllers. The dependencies for the project languages must be configured correctly before a station upload (see Prerequisites for uploading and comparing version/backup). Station Upload via NAT routing is generally not possible. 1505S/HW 1515SP and 1507S / 1508S and their F variants) no station upload is technically possible.įor 1500 series F controllers, the check box Enable consistent loading of F-CPU must be set in the F program beforehand so that the upload is possible.
#TIA PORTAL V16 UPDATE SOFTWARE#
Station Upload is normally possible for all S7-1500 PLCs except for software controllers. Restrictions for station upload with S7-1500 controllers: LibraryManagement (fromversiondog version 8.0) Selection of communication route depending on what is contained in the project, e.g. Versiondog has access to password protected CPUs The safety part must not be password protected. Integrated support of HMI project planning with textual detail comparison (version/version comparison)Ĭlear presentation of complete change historyĬhecksum compare: S7300, S7400(F), S71200(F), S71500(F) SmartCompare for TIA Step 7 (version/version comparison)Īutomated monitoring of program changes in the S7 controller (version/backup comparison) * Upload is only possible from version V13 SP1 of TIA Portal onwards The comparator for TIA Portal can use the extended address space on a 64-bit system and therefore also process very large projects. The solutions presented in this tutorial have certain software and hardware requirements: TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation) is an engineering framework created to program Siemens devices.
