#  Product News 
------------------------------------------------------------------------     

The new Simatic S7-1200 firmware V4.4 improves connectivity with 

new communication functions. 

OPC UA Data Access as a server enables standardized horizontal
and vertical communication as well as the fulfilment of industry-specific
standards such as OMAC PackML or Weihenstephan. 

This helps the user to securely transmit sensitive email data as well
as machine-to-machine communication via data access. 

The Siemens OPC UA Modelling Editor (SiOME) means that users
can define OPC UA information models as well as map exiting
industry-specific companion specifications on the Simatic control. 

Optional push-in terminal blocks simplify handling through tool-free installation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------  

With LOGO! 8, you no longer have rigid specifications, 

but can create settings that are precise to the second, 

simply by using the display.

------------------------------------------------------------------------  

Keeping an eye on the plant

Where plant down times entail enormous costs, condition monitoring offers 

manufacturers and operators valuable insights.

For S7-1200/S7-1500, how do you measure the runtime of the
complete program, subprograms or specific organization blocks?
In STEP 7 (TIA Portal) you use the "RUNTIME" instruction to measure the
runtime of the complete program, single blocks or command sequences. 
With the "RT_INFO" instruction you read out statistics on the runtime of 
specific organization blocks, communication or the user program.
