Hi,

Currently my TIA Portal is V13 SP1 Update 8 one.

My question is did I need to upgrade everything to V15 one to do the programming?

Programming of what which CPU?

With update 8 you can program s7-1200 up to firmware version 4.2 after adding the appropriate HSP.

Edit: It look like only 4.1 can be configured in the software but if my memory serves right you can still communicate and download to a 4.2 but without any of the features specific to 4.2.

Hopefully I'm not way off.

 Thank you for your info.

Means if I use S7-1500 1510 CPU i need to upgrade to V15? or just can update only?

I have a feeling I'm missing the point.

Do you have a CPU with an existing program that you want to edit or are you planning on programming a new CPU? And what's a 1510 , I'm not familiar with it. (

If you have the part number please post it.

Edit: I guess you meant ET 200SP 1510SP. I've never used one. But if you are programming a new system simply open up TIA 13-SP1 update 8 that you have and add the hardware and see which firmware versions are available.

ET200SP CPU 1510 is available in TIA v13, but not with the latest firmware as was written before me.

You can use a never firmware CPU with TIA v13, it will just give you a warning that the online and offline CPU firmware's are different. That doesn't prevent you from using the CPU.
