Software for TIA-based automation systems

Different software components are available to facilitate easy integration of the SITOP PSU8600 in the TIA environment.

Engineering is simple via the TIA Portal. Special function blocks for SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200 and S7-1500 also support integration in the STEP 7 user program.

The comprehensive operating and diagnostic data of the power supply system can be visualized using ready-to-use PSU8600 faceplates for WinCC.

TIA Portal

• User-friendly, failsafe integration of SITOP PSU8600 in the PROFINET network by means of drag-and-drop
• Convenient configuration of the PSU8600 basic units and CNX8600 and BUF8600 add-on modules though simple selection from the TIA Portal hardware catalog from version V14
• Free HSP (Hardware Support Package) for TIA Portal version V13 at

Error-free establishment of the PROFINET connection between the SITOP PSU8600 and the controller is easy with the TIA Portal

STEP 7 function blocks

Function blocks are available for STEP 7 user programs on SIMATIC S7-300/400/1200/1500. They allow further processing of the PSU8600 operating data.

• Function blocks for STEP 7 V5.5
• Function blocks for STEP 7 in the TIA Portal

Faceplates for WinCC

Ready-to-use faceplates save programming time during visualization of the SITOP PSU8600. The faceplates show all relevant statuses and values of the power supply system and the individual outputs and are available for the following systems:

• Faceplates for WinCC from Version V7.3
• Faceplates for WinCC flexible 2008 SP3
• Faceplates for WinCC Comfort/Advanced/Professional in the TIA Portal

Free download from:

The pre-compiled WinCC faceplates show all the relevant data of the power supply system in an easy-to-understand display.

Software for SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system

The SITOP library is available with blocks and faceplates for direct integration into SIMATIC PCS 7. The SW blocks in the SIMATIC S7 supply the faceplate on the user interface of the process control system with operating and diagnostics data, generate messages and ensure connection to the maintenance system of PCS 7. This ensures constant transparency of the 24V supply in the control system. The SITOP library is supported in SIMATIC PCS 7 as from version V8.0 with SP2.
