Product overview
2.1 New functions in firmware version V2.0
New functions Applications
OPC UA Server Data exchange is implemented between vari-
ous systems, both within the process level and
also with systems at the control and company
management level:
•
•
•
•
Supported standard: OPC Data Access, DA.
PROFINET IO
MRPD: Media Re- PROFINET IO IRT enables you to realize
dundancy for Planned applications that place particularly high de-
Duplication for IRT mands on the reliability and accuracy (isoch-
ronous mode).
Limitation of the data You limit the network load for standard Ether-
infeed into the net- net communication to a maximum value.

Display and Web server
Backing up and re- You can back up and restore the CPU configu-
storing via the display ration to/from the SIMATIC memory card with-
out a programming device/PC.
Backing up and re- Among other things, you can backup and
storing via the Web restore the configuration of the CPU to the
server PG/PC on which the Web server is running.
Display and Web When you export your plants worldwide, for
server provide up to example, comments or message texts can be
three project lan- stored on the card in up to 3 languages. For
guages for comments example, German - the language of the au-
and message texts thor, English - readable internationally, Portu-
guese - language of the end user.
Trace via Web server When you enable trace functions via the Web
server, you have better service support. You
can send your trace recordings to your service
partner via Web service, for example.
Monitoring of config- You can monitor states, errors, technological
ured technology ob- alarms and the current values of technology
jects via a Web server objects with the Web server.
Formatting, erasing or Without the method using STEP 7 (TIA Portal), your SIMATIC memory card is formatted, deleted
converting a SIMATIC or converted into a program card directly via the display. You save time.

Customer benefits
OPC UA is a uniform standard for data communi-
cation and is independent of any particular oper-
ating system platforms.
You have integrated safety mechanisms at vari-
ous automation levels, e.g. with data exchange,
at application level, for the legitimation of the
user.
OPC UA servers provide a wide range of data:
Values of PLC tags that clients can access
•
Data types of these PLC tags
•
Information about the OPC UA server itself
•
and about the CPU
Clients can thus obtain an overview and read in
specific values.
By sending the cyclic IO data in both directions in
the ring, the communication to the IO devices is
maintained even when the ring is interrupted and
does not result in device failure even with fast
update times. You achieve higher reliability than
with MRP.
They flatten peaks in the data feed.
You share the remaining bandwidth based on
demand.
You can make a backup copy of an operational
project without STEP 7 (TIA Portal).
In an "emergency", you can simply use an exist-
ing configuration without STEP 7 (TIA Portal), for
example, during commissioning or after a pro-
gram download.
You provide customers with better service.
You receive plant/project information for diagnos-
tics and maintenance requirements without
STEP 7 (TIA Portal).
You can provide trace recordings for each Web
server.
You save time in troubleshooting.
