Occasionally, it is necessary to realize improvements in the firmware. These updates are realized to improve the functionality, to join with the last technologies, to solve problems or to improve the safety(security). It(he,she) is vital to apply the last version of the update and to realize the necessary steps to guarantee the compatibility.
Siemens threw(launched) recently an update of firmware for one of the CPU implemented in his(her,your) equipments(teams) and screens of control and automation. The users of the CPU 1518F-4 PN / DP MFP must install the update of firmware V2.6.0
AUNT asks Portal from herself with STEP 7 Professional V15.1 or Superior to form this version of firmware of the CPU. In addition, there is needed the package of options STEP 7 Safety Advanced V15.1 or later(posterior) to form integrated applications of safety(security) with this version of firmware of the fail-safe CPU.
The new available functions for the CPUs Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 and ET 200 due to this firmware include:
Besides the servant OPC UA, a client OPC UA it(he) is integrated to the CPU (there is needed license RT). This allows to realize calls of method and to read and to write information across the corresponding instructions of communication OPC UA. As result, it is possible to realize the vertical communication to the systems MONTH, services in the cloud or communication controller – controller.
For the CPU S7-1500 (not S7-1500C, S7-1500R / H), the way isócrono also can be formed for modules that are inserted close to the CPU S7-1500 in a centralized configuration. This allows such functions as tasks of dynamic control with dead constant times, the measurement of income, processes of dosing and acquisition of analogical values of high speed with sobremuestreo.
In general, the experience of the user has improved very much. For example:
– If the messages of alarm have been formed in different languages for the block “Get_Alarm”, the texts of alarm already will not be visible only during a few seconds on having changed the language of the screen.
– The web servant now uses the type I SPOILT defined for the files JSON.
– The communication between(among) and IO Controler and I-device works even when they are not in the same subnetwork(subnet) IP.
– The restrictions of performance(yield) identified in the version 2.5 related ones to the reading and writing value of chain in structures already do not happen with the version 2.6.
