Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the relevant information is not taken into account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be
used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property
damage.

features provide a cost-effective solution for small-scale applications and distributed control
systems.
Extension of the APL and Basic Library
● Diverse new blocks extend the APL functionality
● System blocks for compact drives and for the connection of Motor Management Systems
in accordance with PROFIdrive Profile
● Fluttering suppression for diagnostic, remove module and insert module interrupts
Batch

2.1 CFC - Engineering What's new in CFC V8.0?
Version 8.0 contains the following extensions or changes compared to the previous version, V 7.1.2:
●Fine-grained operating permissions
You can use the new "Op_Level" attribute to configure levels of operator authorization levels
for a block type.
●Block encryption
CFC supports the encryption of individual blocks
●New concept for process tag types and process tags
In addition to process tag types and process tags, there are now control module types and
control module units. These support instance-specific changes in case of process tag
synchronization and several versions of process tag types. Enhanced data communication
with PCS 7 Advanced ES is also possible.
Version 7.1.2 includes the following extensions or changes compared to the previous version, V7.1:
●Number of possible AS-wide interconnections
The maximum number of AS-wide interconnections is no longer limited to a specific number
but is determined by checking the transfer volume over time. The additional load of the
configured CPU due to AS-wide interconnections is calculated based on the following
parameters:
– Data types of the interconnections
– Cycle times of the send and receive OBs
– Performance of the configured CPU
If the maximum value for the configured CPU is exceeded, an error message is output.
It may no longer be possible to compile a program with AS-wide interconnections that could
be run with the previous version. This is the case if the default of 30% maximum CPU load
for AS-wide interconnections in this program has been exceeded. If you increase this default
to the correct value, then you will be able to compile the program once again.
●The "Force" functionality now supports a higher number of I/Os
A maximum of 8192 I/Os can now be forced (8192 standard and 8192 F I/Os)
●New configuration options for locations
– Several instances can now be created from a location type
– There are now standard location types with fixed names
– A range of numbers for locations can be specified in the project

2.2 PO - What's new in PO V8.0?
Version 8.0 contains the following extensions or changes compared to V7.1:
● Compression of archive tags in the process object view
Archive tags can now be compressed. Collection and storage of the archive tags is now
only performed when the configured acquisition cycle has expired or the specified tolerance
range is exceeded.
2.3 PH - What's new in PH V8.0?
Version 8.0 contains the following extensions or changes compared to version 7.1.2:
● PDM Diagnostics
The new "PDM diagnostics" function allows the status of the field devices to be queried
and displayed. PDM Diagnostics does not require a Maintenance ES license.
● Basic diagnostics
With the new "Basic diagnostics" function, it is possible to use the basic functionality of
diagnostics without a license. Basic diagnostics monitors PC stations, network objects and
AS stations. Detailed diagnostics of the AS stations and the expansion with the user
diagnostics area require the "Maintenance ES" and "Maintenance RT" licenses.
● Shadow hierarchy (only relevant when using SIMATIC BATCH and SIMATIC RC)
Using the menu command "Options > Plant Hierarchy > Import Process Cell", you can
import objects from one multiproject to another. These imported objects are represented a
shadow hierarchy in the PH.
