SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic (TIA Portal) is a price-optimized subset of STEP 7 Professional controller software in the TIA Portal that can be used for engineering SIMATIC S7-1200 Basic Controllers and configuration of SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels, as WinCC Basic is part of the software package. SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic offers the same benefits as STEP 7 Professional engineering software thanks to its integration into the TIA Portal engineering framework, e.g. Direct online diagnostics, easy creation of technology objects and also the library concept for time-saving, efficient work and programming components reuse. STEP 7 Basic (TIA Portal) supports the IEC programming languages LAD (Ladder Diagram) as well as FBD (Function Block Diagram) and SCL (structured text). Licensing • STEP 7 Basic V15.1 is delivered with a floating license which allows you to install the software on as many computers as you like.

SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional V14 is the easy-to-use, integrated engineering system for the current SIMATIC S7-1200, S7-1500, S7-300 and S7-400 Controllers, WinAC, software controllers, and ET 200 CPU. Suzuki diagnostic system software. PLCSIM for simulation of S7-1200/1500 CPU and WinCC Basic for configuration of Basic Panels are included in the scope of delivery.

For each license, one user can use the software no matter what computer they’re on, or where they’re working. The number of licenses determines the number of computers the software can be used on at one time. • You can update an installed STEP 7 Basic V11 to V14 by purchasing an Upgrade to V15.1 • Owners of a V15 license can update their program version to V15.1 free of charge • Powerpacks allow the upgrading from STEP 7 Basic V15.1 to STEP7 Professional V15.1 Software and licenses Article No.
