Migration Guide: SIMATIC S7-300/400 to SIMATIC S7-1500

This migration guide contains recommendations and notes for users who are currently using SIMATIC S7-300/400 automation systems and plan to migrate to the new SIMATIC controller generation S7-1500.

The new controller generation SIMATIC S7-1500 has an up-to-date system architecture and, together with TIA Portal, offers new and efficient programming and configuration options. To be able to use these advantages, it is important that users who are currently using SIMATIC S7-300/S7-400 automation systems and plan to migrate to the new SIMATIC controller generation SIMATIC S7-1500, develop a detailed comprehensive concept for planning and implementing the pending migration. This requires thorough clarification in the run-up to migration.

High performance at a low price

Compared with its predecessor, LOGO! 0BA7, the innovated LOGO! 8 logic module offers more functionality in its spacesaving design of only 4 MW, at lower costs. Eight basic devices with and without display and for different voltage ranges have the same range of functions, which makes it very easy to choose the required version. Externally, the crystalclear, perfectly readable display, which now features six lines with 16 characters each, catches the eye. The user now benefits from twice as many characters per notification than before, as well as three interchangeable background colors. For greater visualization demands, another text display can be connected to the integrated Industrial Ethernet interface. The module is programmed via Industrial Ethernet, eliminating the need for a special programming cable.

An outstanding feature of the new LOGO! is the integrated web server, which can be configured with no special programming skills and enables hassle-free and inexpensive remote control and monitoring via IWLAN or the Internet. The LOGO! Soft Comfort V8 software has been completely redesigned. Communications via Industrial Ethernet are now configured automatically in the network view. Linking of function blocks and transfers between the various programs are easily performed with drag and drop. Existing programs from older versions can be carried over directly, making it significantly simpler to migrate to LOGO! 8.

Siemens micro automation offers targeted and cost-effective solutions for minor automation tasks. The new LOGO! 8 logic module provides tailored, expandable solutions and enables communication via web server without HTML programming skills.
