Using Step7 (TIA) on Sinumerik 840Dsl / Migrate from Simatic Manager

Dear all

Our Sinumerik applications (up to 10-axis Machines) are using 840Dsl NCU's with integrated 317F PLC. For this we have been using step7 Simatic Manager software for years.

Rumors has it that we will be forced to migrate to step7 TIA at some Point. I would like to get some input from OEM manufacturers that has already done this transfer. We have no exprerience what so ever from TIA and dont know how big of an effort we can expect.

We are using HMI Pro HMI on Sinumerik Operate, both NCU and PCU.

- How well does the migrate function work (Simatic to TIA)?

- Any differences in interface between NC/PLC? (DB11, 10, 21...,31...,)

- Safety Integrated differences?

-Anything else....

Thanks.
