Hi jm39, you are in the PCS 7 forum. You don't have to and shouldn't buy CFC stand alone. CFC is available within the frame setup up of PCS 7, also the SFC The current version of CFC and SFC is CFC V9.0 SP3 Upd1 and SAFC V9.0 SP3 Upd1 and are compatibility for PCS 7 V9.0 SP2. You can download these updates free of charge from the following homepage: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109765887 Here you can also find the corresponding readmes, which describe all the new functions. |

Hi Thunderstorm, thank you for the feedback I'm a bit aware of Siemens way of providing information as from Teleperm M aktuell in paper form received in my mailbox (the physical one ) And I'm aware CFC was not sold alone but only in PCS7 package as from PCS7 V7 if I'm right. That's the reason why I asked the community of Siemens users, particularly those with knowledge about sold packages as I was very surprised to find the announcement of "Sales and delivery release" for CFC V9.0 in this product note https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/fr/en/view/109753592 it's also said, in this product note, that step 7 Vxx is required but not mentioning PCS7 (except to say that this software is already included in PCS7) The question is still pending : is anybody aware of new sales/release politic for engineering components and that they could now (at least for CFC editor) be installed outside a PCS7 installation ? |

Sorry for the confusion, I just meant that you shouldn't install PCS 7 standard software components separately in the PCS 7 environment. This should always be done via the frame setup of the PCS 7 DVD.
In the compatibility tool you find also the compatibilities of main products for SCADA and TIA Portal e. g. STEP 7, WinCC, etc. You see in the STEP 7 V5.6 SP1 list, that it is compatible with CFC V9.0 SP2 Upd2 (without PCS 7). Product Note > That are the compatibility of CFC V9.0 to STEP 7 without PCS 7 Readme / link in de product note |
