Hello, 1-Is it possible to install this tool alone without installing TIA in the PC? 2-Is it suitable for V11,12,13 to perform the all tasks of the tool? |

Hi, no the Tool downloaded the MemoryCard Data which you create with TIA Portal to the PLC! You create the CardData for the PLC offline in TIA. This data now you can download with the tool to the PLC. Regards |

from the userguide of the tool: Preparing a program for use with the SIMATIC Automation Tool
A TIA portal program must be transferred by the TIA portal software to a SIMATIC memory
card, USB flash drive, or another partition of your PG/PC hard drive before the program is
usable with the SIMATIC Automation Tool. Refer to the TIA portal documentation about how
to transfer a program to a storage device.
After the TIA portal transfers the program to a storage device, you can use the Windows
Explorer to transfer the program to the folder that is used by the SIMATIC Automation Tool.
Copy the "SIMATIC.S7S" folder for each program
Follow these steps to make a program accessible to the SIMATIC Automation Tool
1. Run the SIMATIC Automation Tool and view the Tools>Options setting and note the path
assignment for program update files. The default path is
C:\ProgramData\Siemens\SIMATIC Automation Tool\Programs. You can modify the path,
if you prefer to use another folder.
2. Create folders under the programs path that is assigned in the Options dialog. Create one
folder for each program and create a folder name that identifies the program. The folder
names that you create will appear in the SIMATIC Automation Tool program drop-down
list.
3. Use the Windows Explorer to copy the "SIMATIC.S7S" folder (including all subfolders and
files) to the folder assigned in the SIMATIC Automation Tool. The SIMATIC Automation
Tool can only download programs to a CPU. Optional data log and recipe folders that
may exist cannot be downloaded. A TIA portal program (a "SIMATIC.S7S" folder) can be
put in a zip file archive and sent to a remote location.
Note
TIA portal program data is encrypted
Details like the project name or target CPU, of a TIA portal program, cannot be
discovered from the encrypted data that is stored in a SIMATIC.S7S folder. You cannot
identify one program's SIMATIC.S7S folder from another program's SIMATIC.S7S folder.
You must create and name subfolders under the SIMATIC Automation Tool program
update folder that identify a program's function or target CPU. Copy a program's
SIMATIC.S7S folder into the subfolder that you named. The folder names that you create
appear in the SIMATIC Automation Tool "Program" column drop-down list and provide
the path to the correct SIMATIC.S7S folder.
4. After you add new folders in the programs path, you must close and restart the SIMATIC
Automation Tool to update the folder names in the "Program" column drop- down list. |

Hello, Thanks Christoph for your concerning. Sorry,I have another question: Optional data log and recipe folders that may exist in the program cannot be downloaded if we use the Automation tool. Why recipe is not downloaded to CPU? A part of program is missing during download process in this case. Best regards.....

Hello,
You should have a general license for the software download. This activation is necessary to enable you to perform the check for export restricted SW in individual cases. Activation is performed via the SSO registration. After you open the download link, 1-Select :continue to registration. 2-Complete your profile data. 3-Mark: Yes, I would like to register for access to export-restricted software. 4-Finish. 5-Wait until you receive e.mail and you can download the software. |
