    S7-1200
    Update to the S7-1200 System Manual, edition 04/2012
    Product Information

    In spite of efforts to ensure the accuracy and clarity in the product documentation, some of the pages in the S7-1200
    Programmable Controller System Manual contain information that has been identified as being incomplete, incorrect or
    misleading.

    New modules for the S7-1200


    New modules expand the power of the S7-1200 CPU and provide the flexibility to meet your automation needs:
    ● New and improved CPUs:
    – New CPU 1215C DC/DC/DC, CPU 1215C DC/DC/Relay, and CPU 1215C AC/DC/Relay offer 100 Kbytes of work
    memory, dual Ethernet, and analog outputs.
    – New and improved CPU 1211Cs, CPU 1212Cs, and CPU 1214Cs have faster processing time, the possibility of 4
    PTOs (the CPU 1211C requires a signal board), increased retentive memory (10 Kbytes), and increased time-of-day
    hold up time (20 days).
    ● New I/O signal module: SM 1231 AI 4 x 16-bit provides higher sample rate and increased number of bits.
    ● New battery board (BB 1297) offers long term backup of the real-time clock. The BB 1297 is pluggable in the signal
    board slot of the S7-1200 CPU (firmware V3.0 and later versions).

    Prerequisites
    To use the new modules you must use STEP 7 V11 SP2 Update 3 or later (Basic or Professional) and you must download
    the hardware support package (HSP) for new modules from the STEP 7 Options > Support Packages menu command.
    Follow the instructions for adding modules to the hardware catalog for STEP 7 (TIA Portal) from the Siemens Service and
    Support Site (http://support.automation.siemens.com).

    Securing access to the S7-1200 CPU


    As described in the Chapter 11, Web Server, section 11.1 "Enabling the Web server" in the S7-1200 Programmable
    Controller System Manual, take care to avoid unauthorized access to the CPU from the Web server interface. In addition to
    the security practices described in the topic "Enabling the Web server", also ensure that you isolate the CPU network behind
    a firewall.

    Incorrect HSC configuration after CPU version change
    The S7-1200 CPU V3.0 does not require a high-speed counter for correct PTO operation. However, previous firmware
    versions of the S7-1200 CPU (V1.0 or V2.x) do require an associated high-speed counter. It is possible to encounter compile
    errors when exchanging CPUs between V3.0 and V1.0 or V2.x. The following are specific scenarios that exhibit this
    behavior.

    Scenario: PTO and motion V1.0 or V2.x to V3.0


    When you have an S7-1200 CPU V1.0 or V2.x with enabled PTOs and select to exchange this CPU with a CPU that
    supports V3.0, compile errors result from improperly configured high-speed counters due to differences in the operation of
    PTO.
    After the exchange, the resulting compile error appears as follows:

    Workaround
    To eliminate the compile error, follow these steps:
    1. Double-click on the error in the compile output listing. The properties of the high-speed counter are displayed:

    2. Select the "Type of counting" field and select one of the available options ("Frequency" or "Count"). The entry is no
    longer red.

    2 A5E03929122-01, 04/2012
    3. Next, select the "General" section of the properties, as shown below:

    4. Deselect the "Enable this high-speed counter" checkbox. The high-speed counter is no longer needed for correct PTO
    operation.
    5. Recompile your project and verify that the compile succeeds.

    Scenario: PTO V3.0 to V1.0 or V2.x


    When you have an S7-1200 CPU V3.0 with enabled PTO and select to exchange this CPU with a CPU that only supports
    older firmware version (V1.0 or V2.x), compile errors result from improperly configured high-speed counters due to
    differences in the operation of PTO.
    The resulting compile error appears as follows:

    Workaround
    To eliminate the compile error, follow these steps:
    1. Double-click on the error in the compile output listing. The properties of the pulse output appear as follows.

    2. Set the "Pulse generator" to "PWM", select another field, then select the "Pulse generator" field and change it back to
    "PTO". This causes the associated high-speed counter to be configured correctly if it is not already in use.
    3. Recompile your project and verify that the compile succeeds.

    Update to the S7-1200 System Manual, edition 04/2012


    A5E03929122-01, 04/2012 3
    Note
    If you configured an associated high-speed counter for "counting" or "frequency", a compile error is still shown. You need
    to make changes to your program in order to use PTO.

    Scenario: Enabled motion control V3.0 to V1.0 or V2.x


    When you have an S7-1200 CPU V3.0 using motion functionality and select to exchange this CPU with a CPU that only
    supports older firmware version (V1.0 or V2.x), compile errors result from improperly configured high-speed counters and
    motion control support.
    Motion Support
    ● V1.0 PLC V1.0 Motion
    ● V2.x PLC V1.0, 2.0 Motion
    ● V3.0 PLC V1.0, 2.0, 3.0 Motion
    The resulting compile error appears as follows:

    Workaround
    To eliminate the compile error, follow these steps:
    1. Select the "Properties" tab for the PLC
    2. Select the "high-speed counter" for the Axis configured and enable it.
    – HSC1 must be associated with Axis 1
    – HSC2 must be associated with Axis 2

    Note
    V1.0 and V2.x only support two (2) axes of motion. V3.0 supports four (4) axes of motion. When converting from V3
    to V1.0 or V2.x, you must delete axes not assigned to PTO1 or PTO2 from the project prior to download.

    3. Expand the "high-speed counter" and select "Axis" as the "Type of counting". Do this for each axis.

    4. Save and recompile your project. If you have used V3.0 motion elements in the program, a compile error occurs.

    5. Open the "Instruction Tree" and select the appropriate version for the PLC being used. Appropriate versions are
    indicated when the motion instructions are selectable.

    6. You must replace all blocks with the version-appropriate motion instructions.
    7. Recompile and download the project.

    Incomplete password configuration
    If you select a protection level other than "No Protection" but do not specify a password or a matching password, then a
    compile error results. However, if you select compile again, the compile error is cleared and you are allowed to download the
    project. The level of protection that was selected is put in place, but you cannot access the protected functions of the PLC
    because a valid password cannot be entered.

    Workaround
    You must clear the PLC by using an empty transfer card. For more information about how to create and use an empty
    transfer card, refer to Chapter 4, PLC concepts, section 4.5.3 "Transfer card" of the S7-1200 Programmable Controller
    System Manual.

    String or array compile error


    If you cannot successfully compile program blocks containing strings or arrays which successfully compiled in a previous
    version of STEP 7, an error results.

    Workaround
    Right-click "Program blocks" in the project tree and select "Compile" and "Software (rebuild all blocks)".
