Highlights SIMATIC STEP 7 V19

STEP 7 V19 includes new functions for all phases of the engineering workflow.

Hardware configuration

  • New CPU 1513pro (based on S7-1500) for the SIMATIC ET 200pro system: 109771704 
  • Direct exchange of data via PROFINET IRT ensures quick, isochronous data transfer among several S7-1500 CPUs.
  • IP accessibility for S7-1500 CPUs via communication processor CP 1543-1: The OPC UA Server and the S7-1500 CPU Client can transfer data via communication processor CP 1543-1.
  • IP forwarding for S7-1500 CPUs: Forwarding of IP telegrams from a PROFINET interface of the CPU to another integrated PROFINET interface.
    • IP-based communication to devices via S7-1500 CPUs for diagnostics and commissioning, such as S7-PCT Tool, SIMATIC PDM.
    • The function can be combined with IP accessibility via communication processor CP 1543-1.
  • Enhanced display of long device names in the topology and network views.
  • Extension of the OPC UA integration
    • OPC UA Server for S7-1200 CPUs.
    • Improved connection diagnostics and connection overview
  • Extensions  with Open User Communication (OUC) for S7-1200/S7-1500:
    • Forwarding of mails including files directly from the SIMATIC Memory Card by means of the statement T_MAIL_C.
    • TCP/UDP communication based on IPv6 and DNS via communication processor CP 1543-1/CP 1243-1.   

Software units for S7-1500 as of firmware version V2.6

  • Full openness support for software units
  • Import/export of SCL source files in software units
  • Access PLC tags of another Unit from within a Unit

Editors for programming languages

  • "Go to definition" is now also offered in the tag table (for tags of the data type UDT), as well as in watch and force tables.

  • The display of the operand representation and tag information in SCL can now be adapted independently of the other programming languages via the global settings.

Language innovations

  • Multilingual comments in SCL programs: The syntax (/* ... */) enables the input of multilingual comments and regions in SCL blocks.
  • SCL case statement: In addition to an integer, the value of the expression can now also be a bit sequence. This means, for example, that data type conversion is not required to transfer the value to the status word. 
  • FOR loops in SCL – support of all available integer data types: In addition to signed integer tags, the integer tags of the data type USINT, UINT, UDINT and ULINT can now also be used in FOR loops.
  • Parameter instance as DB_Any: When a function block is called, the parameter instance can now also be passed on via a tag of the data type DB_ANY.
 
New and improved statements
 
  • The new statement "File Delete" is used to delete existing files on the Memory Card for S7-1500 CPUs.

  • The existing statement "TMAIL_C" has been extended for S7-1500 CPUs/S7-1200 CPUs. You can now send data logs, recipes and user files located on the SIMATIC Memory Card as an e-mail attachment, e.g. via an integrated interface of your CPU.

  • The existing statement "TMAIL_C" for S7-1200 CPUs has been extended and now allows e-mail encryption, for example.

  •  

    Improved performance of the statements "Serialize: Serialize", "Deserialize: Deserialize" and "CMP" (comparator) for S7-1500

  • Three new PID help functions are available. These reduce the programming effort for tasks in control engineering: "Filter_PT1", "Filter_PT2", "Filter_DT1".

System functions

  • Code comparison between blocks in the project and library (copy templates or types from the global or project library).
  •  Direct code comparison also between library blocks (e.g. between different type versions)

Trace

  • Project traces: Coordination of traces in several devices (several CPUs, different device types). Display in a common diagram.

PLCSIM

  • Cycle control:
    • Press "Pause" to stop program processing
    • The number of program cycles to be executed or the execution duration can be stated.
  • Hardware alarm (OB 4x), diagnostic error alarm (OB 82), module insertion or removal (OB 83), rack or station failure (OB 86) events can be simulated using an event table.
  • Improved import of PLC tags from a TIA Portal project to PLCSIM

Editions

  • SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional V19
    is the powerful and integrated engineering system for the current SIMATIC Controllers S7-1500, S7-1200, S7-300, S7-400, WinAC and ET 200 CPU. S7-PLCSIM for simulation of the S7-1500, S7-1200 CPU as well as SIMATIC WinCC Basic for configuration of Basic Panels and SINAMICS Startdrive for configuration of drives are included in the product package.
  • SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic V19
    is the easy-to-use engineering system for the small modular SIMATIC S7-1200 controller and the associated I/Os. It includes S7-PLCSIM for simulating the S7-1200 CPU and SIMATIC WinCC Basic for configuration of the SIMATIC Basic Panels.
