2 Legal information Warning notice system This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger. DANGER indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken. WARNING indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken. CAUTION indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken. NOTICE indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken. If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage. Qualified Personnel The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems. Proper use of Siemens products Note the following: Trademarks WARNING Siemens products may only be used for the applications described in the catalog and in the relevant technical documentation.

7 Improvements in STEP Improvements in Update 1 Update 1 contains the following improvements and changes: Working with the TIA Portal Stability when working with the TIA Portal has been improved, partly based on the feedback from returned crash reports. Use of the instructions SCATTER and GATHER The instructions SCATTER and GATHER can be used on an S CPU starting with FW V2.1 and on an S CPU as of FW >V4.2. Total size of the associated values for program messages The alarm procedure of the S CPU allows a maximum of 512 bytes for associated values (SD parameters) of the instruction "Program_Alarm". You will only see a warning regarding this number in the TIA Portal <= V14 during compilation. There is a stricter check as of TIA Portal V14 SP1 and later. When this number is exceeded, an error is already output during compilation to exclude error scenarios during runtime. This check from now on no longer refers to the actual size of the SD parameters at the time the instruction "Program_Alarm" is called, but to the maximum possible size of the SD parameters. This means you must decide beforehand with what length you declare the character string tags you are transferring, because these take up a large number of bytes. This must be taken into account during migration of projects from version <= V14 to version V14 SP1 Update 1. Parameter type "Block_DB" for entry of the instance DB In LAD and FBD, you cannot enter the instance DB of an instruction using an input of the data type "Block_DB". This behavior has been made uniform for all CPU families and all block types. As of TIA Portal V14 SP1 Update 1, a compilation error is output. If you have transferred instance DBs in your program with the help of the "Block_DB" data type, you must change your program. Instead use a parameter instance to transfer the instance during runtime. Instruction "GetSMCinfo: Reading out information about the SIMATIC memory card" Contrary to the description in the online help, a diagnostics interrupt is not generated in mode = 3 if the configured part of the service life in % has expired., 05/2017 7

8 Improvements in STEP Improvements in Update 1 Copying ARRAY elements As of TIA Portal Version V14 SP1 Update 1, the comments are also taken into consideration when copying ARRAYs from one TIA Portal project to another TIA Portal project. Display of actual values during block call When monitoring the output tags of a block, the actual values of the formal operand are once again displayed during the block call as was the case up to TIA Portal version V13 SP1. Instructions "(U)MOVE_BLK" und "(U)FILL_BLK" for S The instructions "(U)MOVE_BLK" and "(U)FILL_BLK" only accessed the process image in TIA Portal <= V14 SP1 when directly accessing the I/O. This behavior has been corrected and now causes a runtime error because direct I/O access is not permitted for BLK instructions. Daylight saving time in the alarm display If alarms from CPUs of the S and S series are displayed in the alarm display of the TIA Portal, daylight saving time has not been taken into account in the "Time" column so far. As of TIA Portal V14 SP1 Update 1, daylight saving time is taken into account. Local ProDiag supervision alarms for multi-instances When a supervised program block was called multiple times as multi-instance, the preconnected operand of the first call in the alarm text has been displayed until now even if, for example, the third multi-instance showed a fault. As of TIA Portal V14 SP1 Update 1, it is always the correct pre-connected operand that is displayed. Detection of modifications to program blocks which are created as types in the library When new type versions of blocks are released in the library, the blocks used are checked for changes to the interface (e.g. by the modification of the version of an instruction). If changes are detected, the blocks used also have to be re-released. Diagnostics event "Temporary CPU error (S7-1500/S as of V4)" The following sporadic message: "Serious firmware exception (not relevant for user, system code: 16# , 16# , 16#72A15A70)" no longer occurs during a complex program flow (e.g. large loops or jumps) with simultaneous multiple data block or structure accesses inside and outside of loops. Monitoring branched power paths in LAD networks The display of branched power paths in LAD during monitoring has been improved. 8, 05/2017

9 Improvements in STEP Improvements in Update 1 Exporting objects with Openness Stability has been improved during export with Openness. A successful export is now also possible if e.g. the version of the export object has been deleted., 05/2017 9
