Discontinuation of SIMATIC HMI devices

The following Classic products will be discontinued with effect from 30 June 2015. They will be replaced by devices with compatible functions. These successor models may not be installation-compatible, meaning you may have to change the installation environment. Installation adapters are not available.

The list below contains the Standard Classic Panels which will be discontinued with effect from 30 June 2015. Because new devices with compatible functions are available for all article numbers, we are also satisfying the 10 year spare part obligation. If you have any questions regarding the successor/substitution type and cannot find satisfactory answers on our website, please feel free to contact your Siemens representative.

The preferred solution is always to switch to a device from the latest product lines. As of today, these are Key, Basic, Comfort and Mobile Panels. These product lines offer numerous device versions for a wide variety of requirements. Siemens will be glad to provide assistance during device migration.

List of Classic HMI devices affected on 30 June 2015:

1. Remote control of S7-1200 RTU with PCS 7 TeleControl (IEC protocol)
(5/22/2015) [109475749]

Technological plants can stretch over large expanses, especially in
the water and waste water sectors. Storm water tanks may be
connected to a central sewage plant through a channel system
spanning kilometers. Remote control systems such as PCS 7
TeleControl integrate such remote terminal units directly into the
high-level control system.

1. How can you read input words in the address range from 9999 to
65535 with the SIMATIC S7-1200 via Modbus RTU?
(5/6/2015) [109474481]

With Service Pack 1 of STEP 7 V13 (TIA Portal) the instruction
"Modbus_Master" is made available for the SIMATIC S7-1200.
In addition to the functions of the instruction "MB_MASTER", this
permits reading out of the extended address range (9999 - 65535) of
the input words (function code 04) of a Modbus slave.
