![]() As a whole, the software shows really well to a newbie, but it can a bit of a shock for someone who already knows what they are doing. It cleans up safety programming a bit as well. I especially like the new HW/network editor. A lot of them are simple things: being able to save your ladder code even if the block has an error, being able to do indirect addressing in ladder (with the new CPU's only), or being to copy/paste from a DB to excel. It fixes most of the complaints I've had of Simatic Manager. Personally, I'm a fan of the idea of the new software. Long story short: I love the new stuff, but it might need some time to grow on you. ![]() ![]() Most of what I have to say has probably already been said above, but i'm tossing my two cents in anyway. Best to have a brand new laptop when working with it. On the downside, TIA V13 does seem to run pretty slowly when compared to the older software. Also, you can drag and drop tags, copy/paste easily from excel, etc. Also you can save the program with blocks whose addresses haven't been filled in, no more entering placeholder bits just to save your program. All tags are automatically updated in TIA, so no more of this. Then you had to go through the program and change everything because all of the addresses were shifted. In the old version you had to add spares in data blocks because the addition of one bit in the middle of a block would shift all of the addresses. Probably one of the main improvements is the way tags are dealt with. I feel like tearing my hair out everytime i have to use the old software, i find the newer interface and integration of wincc and drives so much easier. Ive been using TIA Portal for years now and it is a massive improvement over Step 7 classic. We have a new project on the go that must be Siemens PLC and drives (no motion control) but the programming tools are not specified so we must decide the best/most appropriate route for the project.Ī recent project done with Step7 Classic and WinCCFlex2008 as a replica of a previous machine was problematic because you cannot buy HMIs for WinCCFlex except as a spare part at exorbitant prices. If you are sticking with Step7 Classic, what is holding you back from TIA Portal? If you are using TIA Portal what advantages/disadvantages do you encounter? I'm interested to know how many of you have now taken the leap to using TIA portal and how many are still avoiding it. This is a question for Siemens Step7 Programmers. ![]() I hope that day is still far away and by then the software is stable and improved in its interface. I've never seen other brands take such risks and issues in their software. I think the software was still in early beta stages when they released it on the market, I'm not sure if that was a smart move from Siemens. So, for me, Simatic is still my favoriete Siemens soft :D. The speed of the software is my biggest frustration point, especially in VMWare's. I'm pretty frustrated after a while with those docked windows. In a previous company I have used portal and at that moment (version 12) was a disaster. We work with Wonderware Scada and S7-300 and 400 PLC's, so we are not forced to use Tia portal because we don't use HMI panels from Siemens for our projects. In the process industry you cannot migrate to portal just like that, that would be a gigantic risk. + Download WinCC_V11_Advance Software.We still work 99,9% in Simatic. > Link Download Software ( GoogleDrive – Fast For Download ): WinCC_V11 version is used for 32bits operating systems (cannot be used for 64bits operating systems) in the most trusted user interface design programs – HMI. To meet the evolving technological requirements, WinCC provides many functions for the purpose of displaying, announcing, reporting, processing measurement information, formula parameters, and so on. WinCC can simulate images of events occurring in the process of controlling events as sequences. With WinCC, we can take advantage of many different solutions for solving problems, from designing for small-scale to large-scale systems, production execution systems – MES (Manufacturing Excution System). via COM port with RS232 standard of PC and RS485 standard of PLC. With WinCC, users can exchange data with PLCs of various brands such as Siemens, Mitsubishi, Allen braddly, Omron. With the main function of collecting data, monitoring and controlling the production process. Specifically, WinCC is a program used to design Human Machine Interface (HMI) in the Scada (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system. ![]() WinCC (Windows Control Center) is Siemens software used to monitor, control and collect data during the manufacturing process. WinCC_V11 is one of the application programs for HMI and Scada networks in civil as well as industrial sectors. ![]()
