With the integration of the SINAUT project planning in the TIA Portal, the complete communication configuration takes place in one tool. The TeleControl portfolio has been expanded with the TIM 1531 IRC, which can be connected to the central control station as a stand-alone device. This means that one or more RTUs can be used as substations in TeleControl systems with the SINAUT ST7 protocol.
Backup batteries are used to maintain basic functions in the case of a power failure. We explain here how you can determine the article number of the backup battery of your SIMATIC IPC or SIMATIC Field PG.
System properties of the PPI/MPI/DP interfaces when used with a SIMATIC S7-200.
Description By default the Field PG M4 has two partitions (Drive C: and drive D:). In general drive C: is the system partition and drive D: the data partition on which the project data is stored. When the system is restored, drive C: is restored with the default programs and drive D: is restored as empty. During this procedure the user is requested to assign a user name and password. Windows Setup then installs an administrator account. For example, the user 'pg_user' receives adm ...
Field PG P3 / P4 / Celeron / M / M2 / M3 -- Memory expansion for Field PG The Field PGs P3 / P4 / Celeron include a motherboard with two slots for 144-pin SO-DIMM memory modules. The maximum memory expansion for a Field PG P3 is 512MB and for a Field PG P4 1GB. ...
The BIOS updates each contain the changes of the earlier versions listed in the info texts. Please pay careful attention to the following points before or when installing the BIOS update Use the most recent version possible of the BIOS (current release version). Using an older BIOS on a new PC platform can lead to faults. The USB stick or USB disk drive must be the first drive in the boot sequence. Make sure that the power supply is not cut off. Under n ...

Description: You can order the 25-pin to 9-pin adapter from your Siemens sales contact under the following order-no.: A5E00086045 - Serial Port Adapters D9/D25. ...
Instructions: When delivered, the Field PG's operating system, Windows XP MUI, and the SIMATIC software are preinstalled on the hard disk with English menus and dialogs, and a US keyboard layout. The operating system is installed the first time you switch on the Field PG. Even here you can make a number of language settings. ...
Description: You can connect the PG 6xx and PG 7xx with different modules. All the information you need for this is available in this FAQ: How do you connect the PG 675/685 and the PG7xx programming devices ...
Description: In Windows you have a 'QWERTY' keyboard layout on your Field PG. In STEP5 however you have an 'AZERTY' keyboard layout. The Field PG has Windows ME installed in French. In Windows the 'QWERTY' keyboard layout is active, in DOS applications (e.g. STEP 5) however the 'AZERTY' keyboard layout is active. Now for DOS applications you must switch to the 'QWERTY' keyboard layout: ...
Description: For the Lithium Ione Accumulator 6Ah, BIOS version 01.03.41 or higher is needed in the Field PG. This way, the right recognition and management of the accumulator by the operating system is made sure. Compared to the former type, with this accumulator, longer operating times in accumulator operation are possible. ...
Configuration Notes: The experience and failure rates of the last few years have shown that permanent operation of ATA hard disks in SIMATIC PCs in no way increases security risks. In this respect numerous measures are employed in particular with hard disks to ensure the high SIMATIC quality standards. When selecting long-term availability ATA hard disks they are put through numerous tests (e.g. mechanical and continuous tests) by our development department before bein ...
Configuration Notes: Both 2.5' and 3.5' hard disks with memory capacities of over 40 GB are used in the SIMATIC PCs. Here both parallel ATA hard disks (PATA) and increasingly serial ATA hard disks (SATA) are used. These have a higher data transfer rate that the PATA hard disks and the slim, shielded SATA cables provide much greater security than the broad, unshielded PATA cable. ...
Configuration Notes: Hard disks are sensitive electromechanical products whose reliability is greatly influenced by their surroundings and environment. Alongside relative humidity, power fluctuations or failure, shocks and vibrations, it is above all high temperatures that are a frequent cause of hard disk faults. The reliability of the electronics and mechanics - spindle motor and bearing - depends heavily on it. Inadmissible operating environments (e.g. exceeding of tempera ...
Configuration Notes: SIMATIC PC Compact Flashes are also offered as alternatives to the SIMATIC Microbox PC 420, SIMATIC Box PC 627 and SIMATIC Box PC 840 V2. SIMATIC PC Compact Flashes are much more robust and longer-living than hard disks. ...
Configuration Notes: In order to install a Service Pack update (e.g. SP4) in Windows 2000 MUI you need the English Service Pack 4. You cannot install a Service Pack in another language here, because Windows 2000 MUI is based on the English version of Windows 2000. ...
Configuration Notes: In order to install a Service Pack update (e.g. SP2) in Windows XP you need the English Service Pack 2. You cannot install a Service Pack in a different language here. ...
Description: When setting up an online connection between a PG/PC and an S7 controller via Industrial Ethernet, you must observe a number of aspects. ...
Instructions: If the display remains dark after installing Windows XP Service Pack 2, you must reinstall the display driver. ...
