STEP 7 Basic V14 SP1 (TIA Portal), device view: configuring and parameterizing in realistic photo-quality representation

Intuitive, efficient and future-oriented - the engineering software for programming SIMATIC controllers

SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic V14 is the engineering system for the S7-1200.

STEP 7 Basic V14 is based on the Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) central engineering framework which offers users a uniform, efficient and intuitive solution to all automation tasks.

New with V14

• Useful function extensions in the language editors for LAD/FBD and SCL
• Systematic further development of language elements for programming (Array[*], Array of multi-instances, etc.)
• Higher-level measurement with Trace
• New configuring of toolbar in the DB Editor
• New system functions, e.g. global search and extended cross-reference information
• Multiple usability expansions for efficient engineering

New with V14 SP1

• Further useful function expansions of the language editors (e.g. password-based block write-protection)
• Function expansions in the Devices and Networks Editor (e.g. simplified renaming of PROFINET IO devices)
• New functions, e.g. Polyline, SCATTER, GATHER
• Individual commenting by UDT instances and array members
• Simplified upgrading of types (blocks, PLC data types) in an existing project library
• Import and export of CAx data by means of the AutomationML format
• Modification of the hardware configuration via the TIA Portal Openness API
