Siemens has released for delivery its Service Pack 1 for WinCC V13, that will also be delivered within the scope of the relevant Software Update Service agreements. Significant expansions/features of Service Pack 1 include:
- Support of the new SIMATIC Open Controller
- Support of the second-generation Mobile Panels
- Cooperation of WinCC with Step 7 across different projects
- API Engineering of WinCC and Step 7
- Simple processing of projects with different engineering versions
- Investment protection due to migration
Support of the new SIMATIC Open Controller. The CPU 1515SP PC is a robust, PC-based system that uses the new S7-1500 Software Controller. The CPU implements the function of a classical S7-1500 controller in ET 200SP design on a PC with Windows. Additional HMI functionality is provided by the CPU 1515SP PC + HMI with pre-installed WinCC Runtime Advanced. This enables both control and visualization functions in one unit.
Support of the second-generation Mobile Panels. The completely innovated cable-connected second-generation SIMATIC HMI Mobile Panels in the display sizes 7” and 9” with enhanced scope of functions are now released for delivery. The second generation of the SIMATIC HMI Mobile Panels delivers convenient handling, exceptional performance, and high quality. The highlights: a luminous widescreen display, particularly easy configuration, and a unique illuminated Emergency Stop button.
Cooperation of WinCC with Step 7 across different projects. Especially during the engineering phase of automation tasks, several people may have to work simultaneously on one project. Using a PLC Proxy, the data to be visualized can be taken over from a STEP 7 or STEP 7 V5.4 update 3 project into the visualization project to configure the panel in parallel. This concept has been expanded with the TIA Portal V13 SP1. It is now possible to integrate redundant and routed controllers via a PLC Proxy. Further, the PLC Proxy now also supports MPI communication.
API Engineering of WinCC and Step. An interface for WinCC and STEP 7 in the TIA Portal enables the programming of applications that automate the engineering in the TIA Portal. It allows you to create your own applications for automatic engineering using external development environments (e.g., for the generation of HMI images and PLC software blocks). The objects of our panels and Runtime Advanced are supported for WinCC.
Simple processing of projects with different engineering versions. WinCC V13 SP1 supports the processing of projects from WinCC V13 and V12 in the compatibility mode. After processing in V13 SP1, such projects can be used again in a V12 or V13 engineering environment. So now it is not necessary to upgrade projects when changing the engineering version, which simplifies the handling of different projects.
Investment protection due to migration. WinCC V13 SP1 offers a migration of WinCC flexible 2008 SP2 or SP3 projects and also of WinCC V7.2 projects, safeguarding the investments made over time.
Panel feature advancements. WinCC V13 SP1 has added many new features to the Comfort Panel line of products. Popup screens have been added to allow user-configure screens that can be opened for more in-depth control or visualization information from an event. These popup screens are ideal for a user to configure more control commands like buttons, IO fields, error information, etc., that call for operator control of an element on the existing screen. Popups can be configured to have locations set for display and ability for use of reusable faceplate configurations. The slide in screen functions allow a user to have additional commands available outside the constraints of the screen viewing area. This increases functionality without increasing screen size. Ethernet-based camera live feeds can now be displayed directly onto the screen of the comfort panels. This allows a user to have the ability to view a camera image while still having the control commands present.
