Hello Luca, I think if you have the CPU v4.2 you have all the latest features but you used the version v4.1, perhaps the matter is to program it via TIA v13, maybe TIA v14 has something extra. From my point of view you have the functionality of v4.1 CPU also because using TIA v13. What do you think about it?

Hi Ste, I reviewed what's new in FW 4.2 new release for the 1200 cpu. There is some new features and istructions that could be interesting... As I use TIA portal V13 that support only until FW 4.1 S7-1200 CPU, I still can program a FW 4.2 CPU, but I can't use it new functionalities. So the initial topic " NEED Tia V14 to program a 1200 FW 4.2" is... NO, you don't need TIA portal V14, you still can program a 1200 CPU FW 4.2 with Tia V13 SP1, but you can't use new features and eventually emprovements of new release. Tia Portal V14 has some new features that could be interesting , since I'm a beginner in the Siemens world, I still experiencing many features.
But compared to other brands, Step7 is a pretty tool and the way Siemens structured PLC memory requires a bit more know how in informatic structure of data, but let you manipulate more deep your data. Still enjoining new challenges.
