Overview

Upgrades combined in packages permit upgrading of existing

operator systems V6.0 or V6.1 to V7.0.

Upgrades of OS software

The upgrades for all PO versions of the OS software from

V6.0/V6.1 to V7.0 are distributed between the following two OS

upgrade packages:
SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Runtime Upgrade Package V6.0/V6.1 to V7.0
for OS single stations/OS servers (including archive servers),

with:
• PCS 7 OS Software Single Station (all PO versions)
• PCS 7 OS Software Server (all PO versions as well as archives)
• SFC Visualization
• StoragePlus
• WinCC Redundancy
• SIMATIC Logon
• PCS 7 BCE
• SIMATIC NET S7-1613 for Industrial Ethernet
SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client / SFC Visualization Upgrade Package

V6.0/V6.1 to V7.0
for OS Clients, with:
• PCS 7 OS Software Client
• SFC Visualization
• SIMATIC Logon

Upgrade of S7-REDCONNECT communications software

If fault-tolerant automation systems are used, the OS single

stations/OS servers require the S7-REDCONNECT communica-

tions software in addition to the CP 1613 (A2) communications

processor for the bus communication. This is available as:
• S7-REDCONNECT
• S7-REDCONNECT Upgrade (additive to existing S7-1613

communications software)

The SIMATIC NET S7-REDCONNECT V6.3 communications soft-

ware is used in OS single stations/OS servers with SIMATIC

PCS 7 V6.x, on the other hand the SIMATIC NET

S7-REDCONNECT V6.4 with SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0. When up-

grading the OS single stations/OS servers to SIMATIC PCS 7

V7.0, an upgrade of the S7-REDCONNECT communications

software to V6.4 is therefore required.

Upgrade of OS long-term archiving

SIMATIC Upgrade StoragePlus V1.0/V1.1 to V1.2

Note

The SIMATIC Upgrade StoragePlus V1.0/V1.1 to V1.2 is part of

the SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Runtime Upgrade Package V6.0/V6.1 to

grade Package V6.0/V6.1 to V7.0

nostics clients from V6.1 to V7.0.
