Siemens Self Support - Regarding TIA Portal & CPU Migration

Hello,

Q1: Step 7 Professional V13 SP1 & WinCC Professional V13 SP1 in TIA Portal

You cannot have Step 7 Professional V13 SP1 and WinCC Professional V13 SP1 as a single, integrated package within TIA Portal because TIA Portal is built around a newer core version. V13 SP1 represents the last major version before the full transition to TIA Portal. TIA Portal consolidates these functionalities into a single engineering framework, but requires a TIA Portal license (V13 or later).

Consider upgrading to a supported TIA Portal version (V13, V15, V16, V17 or V18) to benefit from the integrated environment. Refer to TIA Portal Overview for more details.

Q2: S7-1200 to S7-1500 CPU Migration

Yes, migrating from an S7-1200 CPU to an S7-1500 CPU is possible, but it's not a direct replacement and requires careful planning and execution.

The process generally involves:

• Creating a new project in TIA Portal for the S7-1500.
• Transferring the application code (logic) from the S7-1200 project to the new S7-1500 project.
• Adapting the code for the differences in hardware and functionality between the two CPUs.
• Downloading the new project to the S7-1500 CPU.

Siemens provides migration tools and documentation to assist with this process. See S7-1200/1500 Upgrade for guidance.
