Hi together,

I had a strange message in Step7 5.5 S4 with HF11

When I opened the HW-Config of a project from a customer, I had two not viewable modules with the message in the picture attached. HW-Config claimed that Step7 5.5 SP5 and Step7 5.6 is needed for this two modules.

As I know, the latest version is Step7 5.5 SP4 HF11.

Solution for this is to install the latest Hardware Support Package. You can do this in HW-config in extras->install HW-updates. Install the HSP automatically from the internet or download the HSP manually from here:

STEP 7 V5.x Hardware Support Packages (HSPs - as at 11/2016) for installing hardware updates in the Hardware Configuration

regards,

Hi,

the cell "STEP7 Versions" means that in thisd Version the HSP is integrated and must not installed seperatly.

Is not the STEP7 Version you need to install the HSP!

 hi Christoph,

thanks for the information.

That means Siemens is planning to release a SP5 for 5.5 and a 5.6 in the future.

But actually, with the latest version of SP4 HF11, it is confusing more than it helps,

regards,
