Hi Grey, first of all it is not possible to go from V6 to V8 in one step. You have to do the intermediate step at latest V7 version... Please follow one of these manuals, depending on your use case: Software update without utilization of new functions V8.2: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109485952 Software update with utilization of new functions V8.2: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109485962 Now to your questions: 1) Yes should be enough in total. But you will need at least an upgrade package for the ES from V6 to V7 because there is no direct migration from 6 to 8. 2) No the upgrade packages only contain the licenses. You have to oder the media package for V/ and V8 additional. 3) No, you need one upgrade package for each PC in your plant. So 1x ES, 2x OS server and 3x OS client. 4) Upgrade packages are for licenses only. So after installation of PCS 7 go to License manager and upgrade existing licenses of V6 with license of V8 from the package. 5) Sorry can not help on Cemat topics. Regrads |

Hello G_R_E_Y
Ok, IPC547C is the type. Sorry I didn't understand from your previous post. But now it's clear. Like I said, I also don't know where to get the drivers. I would ask Siemens Customer Support if there are drivers for Win7 or Win Server 2010 available. Maybe you could also find them on the internet on pages like this: Link
I would read them only (not performing them) to find out what are all the new functions between V6.1 and V8.2. If you read only the document '...with utilization of new functions V8.2' you know what are new functions in compare to 8.1. From where do you want to know all the previous new functions (in 7.0, 7.1, 8.0)?
Of course the block-update updates the used blocks to newer versions... If you want to make your program run-able by following a document '...without utilization of new functions' you need to make the mentioned block-updates. If you don't want to make the project run-able in between, you don't need to make the update of the block-updates in between. In the last step, of course, you will update the remaining old blocks by a block-update. In e.g. you have standard-driver-blocks in your project, but on a freshly new installed ES you don't have the standard libraries anymore after installation. You need to install at first the standard-library manually from the folder 'Additional Products' from the setup-DVD. If you want to replace the standard-driver-blocks by APL-drivers later anyway, why should you update them in between? The same for techn.-blocks... In gerneral you could copy all blocks from all libraries you find in your freshly new PCS7 installation to your project library at the end (after replacement of all blocks to be replaced). Only the blocks still used are really updated then. Of course you should not forget to use the function 'Clean up' in CFC before perfoming the update of the blocks. At least I would copy the blocks from the libraries 'PCS7 AP Library V82, PCS7 Basis Library V82 and the CEMAT Library to your project library and perform the update.
Option 1: correct Option 2: nearly correct. If you want to make the project run in V8.2 with standard blocks (without manually exchange of any standard-blocks by APL-blocks) you follow documents 'without new function'. For those people who are afraid that at the end somthing is not running like expected, I would recommend to take Otion 2 at first step. Later on they could start thinking about new functions like APL... |
