CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

2 Improvements in STEP 7 2
2.1 Improvements in Update 6
Update 6 contains the following improvements and changes:
Hardware configuration
When migrating an S7-1200 CPU from firmware version V3 to V4, the input filter for all digital
inputs (on-board and signalboard DI) which are assigned to a high-speed counter HSC are
set to 0.8 ms.
Chinese interface language

Improvements in STEP 7

Pulling and plugging a central module for the CPUs 1510SP-1 and 1512SP-1 PN
Contrary to the information in the online help, pulling and plugging a central module for the
CPUs 1510SP-1 PN and 1512SP-1 PN does not result in CPU STOP.
When you select optimized start information in the Pull/Plug OB as the structure of start
information, the values B#16#51, 54, 55, 56, 57 and 58 of the fault_id tags apply not only for
PROFINET IO modules and submodules, but also generally for IO modules and IO
submodules. The same applies to the Fault_ID tag in the TI_PlugPullModule data structure
of the TINFO parameter in the RALRM instruction.
When you select S7-300 and S7-400 CPUs in the Pull/Plug OB as the structure of start
information, the values B#16#51, 54, 55, 56, 57 and 58 of the OB83FLT_ID tags apply not
only for PROFINET IO modules and submodules, but also generally for IO modules and IO
submodules.
New modules
The following new modules are supported:

S7-1500 Motion Control optimization

After the start of a test step of the optimization, the axis is decelerated with the configured
maximum delay after expiration the measurement period.
In order for the trace function to record a test step of the optimization, the movement must
continue for at least two application cycles of the MC Servo OB.
S7-1500 Motion Control - Simulation

To traverse an axis without a drive in simulation mode, selection the entry "Simulative
PROFIdrive drive" in the "Simulation" list under "Configuration > Basic parameters". Then
save the project and load the software to the CPU in STOP mode.


Expansion of PLC tags during operation with a CPU of the S7-1200 series
The communication connection to the HMI panel is maintained when creating new PLC tags
in a CPU of the S7-1200 V2.x and V3.x series and then loading to the device.

OpenViewerIECPLByCall function
The correct declaration of the function is
BOOL OpenViewerIECPLByCall (
DWORD dwFlags,
LPCTSTR lpszServerPrefix,
LPCTSTR lpszPictureName,
LPCTSTR lpszObjectName,
LPCTSTR lpszCpuName,
LPCTSTR lpszContainingBlock,
LPCTSTR lpszCalledBlock,
LPCTSTR lpszPin,
LPCMN_ERROR lpdmError);
Parameters
dwFlags
Bit array in which the individual values are ORed bit-by-bit. dwFlags should be 0 by default.
● IECPLVIEWER_PIN_SUBSTRING_SEARCH=0x0001: A substring is sought in the
search for the pin name, i.e. the pin name starts with the string passed in lpszPin. If this
bit is not set, the complete pin name is compared to lpszPin.
lpszServerPrefix
The parameter is reserved for later upgrades.
lpszPictureName
Name of the screen with the PLC code display.
lpszObjectName
Name of the PLC code display.
lpszCpuName
Name of the S7 CPU. The name is identical to the station name displayed in the project tree
in the TIA Portal.
Readme
Readme, 02/2015 17
lpszContainingBlock
Name of the block to be opened and displayed or name of the instance of an FB.
The following can be used as the name:
● Name of a single instance DB. Its FB is then displayed. Example "Station1"
● Name of a multi-instance in an instance DB. Its FB is then displayed. When multi-instance
name paths are specified, these are data hierarchies such as those displayed in the DB
editor, and not the call structure. The first part of the name ("Line1") does not need to be
enclosed in quotes because this is a global icon, as can be recognized from the context.
Quotation marks are required for the individual name components when special
characters such as spaces, periods etc. occur in them. Example: "Line1.Cell1.Station1"
● Name of an FC or OB
Using the name of an FB is not allowed.
lpszCalledBlock
Name of the local or global instance that is called in the code block belonging to
lpszContainingBlock.
● For local instances, the hash sign # must be specified here, for example, "#feeder1".
● For global instances, the global name must be specified here without hash sign #, for
example, "feeder3".
Using the name of an FC is allowed.
If lpszCalledBlock is called several times within lpszContainingBlock or its FB, execution
always jumps to the first call of lpszCalledBlock.
lpszPin
Name of the input pin of lpszCalledBlock. The parameter is used to display the network
interconnected to the input pin in the PLC code display.
lpdmError
Pointer to the data of the extended error message in the CMN_ERROR structure. The
system writes error information to this structure if an error occurs.
