Overview of versions

The technology version for S7-1500 Motion Control includes the version of the technology
objects and the version of the Motion Control instructions. Only one technology version can
be operated on a CPU. This means that operation of two different technology versions side-
by-side is not possible on one CPU.
When changing to a CPU V1.6, you must change the technology version to V2.0. Card
replacement from a CPU < V1.6 to a CPU V1.6 is not permitted. In the TIA Portal, you can
only work on projects with technology version V2.0 with a CPU V1.6.
There are two ways of changing the technology version:
● Changing the version of the Motion Control instructions
● Adding a technology object with an alternative version
The technology objects and Motion Control instructions are only converted to the selected
version of the technology during compilation.
The version of a technology object or a Motion Control instruction can be checked in the
object properties in the "General > Information" tab in the "Version" box.

You change the version of the Motion Control instructions in the "Instructions" task card in
the folder "Technology > Motion Control > S7-1500 Motion Control".
If the Motion Control instruction version used does not correspond to the compatibility list,
the relevant Motion Control instructions are highlighted in red in the program editor.
If a technology object with an alternative version is added in the "Add new object" dialog,
the technology version is changed to the alternative version.
