STEP 7 V5.6 - the proven solution with tried and tested functionality

Information on STEP 7 Versions

For programming controllers of the latest generation S7-1200, S7-1500, ET 200SP CPU and S7-1500 Software Controller you need STEP 7 (TIA Portal) Engineering Software.
Of course you can program the S7-300, S7-400 and SIMATIC WinAC controllers with this software as well.

STEP 7 Professional 2017 includes the STEP 7 V5.6 basic software and additional editors. New installations of STEP 7 Professional 2017 are only available as combo licenses together with STEP 7 Professional V15 (TIA Portal). This combo license for both platforms enables you to work using both STEP 7 (TIA Portal) as well as traditional engineering software.

System innovation and migration

Higher productivity, efficiency and availability through modernization
To stay competitive, machines and facilities have to be continually adapted to the latest requirements.
If your automation system is no longer up to date, it is time for a modernization.

SIMATIC system migration to S7-1500

The SIMATIC S7-1500 is the latest generation Advanced Controller. This innovative, powerful automation system is used worldwide for factory automation.

There are good reasons to switch to our SIMATIC S7-1500 controller and start TIA Portal Engineering:

• ·For a number of years, it has not been possible to use SIMATIC S5 and other controllers that have been in use for a long time for new applications and the end of the spare part supply is often imminent.
• ·SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 are and remain fully developed, proven controllers. Many new requirements regarding handling and performance can no longer be fully met with the traditional architecture. This has led to the development of the next generation of S7-1500 controllers with improved system properties. The basic SIMATIC properties have been retained for compatibility.

SIMATIC system migration from ET 200S CPU to ET 200SP CPU

The Distributed Controller based on ET 200SP is the successor of ET 200S CPU (IM 151-8/IM 151-7). The functionality of the CPUs corresponds to that of the SIMATIC S7-1500.

With the ET 200SP Open Controller is at your disposal a PC based controller with visualization, Windows applications and central I/Os in a compact device.
