Things to know

Using the following guides and tools, INTACS have made life easier for you to understand the issues to consider in making the progression from Step 7 Classic (v5.5, v5.4 etc) to Step 7 within TIA-Portal.

To use the TIA-Portal Readiness Check Tool, first extract it and then start the file "Readiness Check Totally Integrated Automation Portal.exe":

  • After starting the tool, the interface language can be selected
  • The module data can be entered in several ways:
    • as .cfg file
    • list with order numbers as .xls file
    • list with order numbers as .csv file
    • order numbers manually
  • The result shows the modules supported / not supported by the TIA-Portal; for the latter, the successor modules are displayed
  • Furthermore, a list of engineering software products - with which the hardware components can be processed - is shown
