How to install VIPA libraries in TIA portal V14?

iConnect@ANYTECH

Good Day Mohammed

You can use Siemens Step7 from about version 5.5 to configure and program all current VIPA products, without any hassles. You can also download the GSD file contain the VIPA product library from the VIPA free of charge http://www.vipa.com/en/service-support/downloads/and then import it into Step7 for ease of use.

VIPA themselves also offers their own product package called winPLC7 which allows you to configurate and program all VIPA products as well as Siemens S7 300 and 400 systems

Hope this was helpful

The libraries for TIA portal on the above address have *.zal14 format which is not recognized by TIA portal V14. If I change it to *.al14, TIA portal says "Library xxx is faulty and can no longer be opened".

Has anyone succeeded to install any VIPA libraries in TIA portal V14? How to do it?

Hello Baltazar;

A zal14 file is known as a "Corporate library" and it is zipped.

See below how to proceed to install a corposrate library file. The screenshot is taken from the documentation provided in this application note:
