Upgrades from SIMATIC PCS 7 Version 7.1 to Version 8.0
Upgrades from SIMATIC PCS 7 Version 6.x/V7.0 to Version 7.1
Upgrades from SIMATIC PCS 7 Version 6.x to Version 7.0
Updates/upgrades asynchronous to the PCS 7 version (upgrades to products from the Totally Integrated Automation spectrum which do not directly belong to the SIMATIC PCS 7 product range and which are therefore subject to their own version cycle)
