parameter instance can now also be
passed on via a tag of the data type
DB_ANY.
Navigation "Go to definition"
"Go to definition" is now also offered in
the tag table (for tags of the data type
UDT), as well as in watch and force tables.
SCL Case statement
In addition to an integer, the value of the
expression can now also be a bit sequence.
This means, for example, that data type
conversion is not required to transfer the
value to the status word.

New features for the SIMATIC S7-1500 system and
ET 200SP CPUs – Enhanced environmental conditions
Use at 2,000 m above sea level
• The maximum "Height in operation in relation to sea level"
depends on the module and is described in the technical
specifications of the respective module
• For heights >2,000 m, the following boundary conditions
apply
• Derating factor of the maximum specified ambient
temperature in relation to the installation altitude
Installation altitude
(in meters)
Derating factor for ambient
temperature1
-1,000 – 2,000 1.0
2,000 – 3,000 0.9
3,000 – 4,000 0.8
4,000 – 5,000 0.7
1 Basic value for the application of the derating factor is the maximum permissible ambient temperature in °C for 2,000 m.
The derating factors compensate for the reduced cooling effect of air at higher altitudes due to the reduced density.

TIA Portal Openness – PLC online checksums
PLC online checksums
Reading out of checksums of a PLC S7-1500 and S7-1200.
Checksums can be read out for the following
data:
Hardware, connection, routing, certificates,
text lists, download, fail-safe program, change counter
The online checksums can be used to determine whether the data
of the online PLC has changed by comparing it with previous
checksums.
This enables changes to the PLC to be detected quickly or e.g. to
guess whether a station upload is necessary.

Multiuser Commissioning – Overview
Multiuser Commissioning
In V16, an extended Multiuser Commissioning Mode
is available for commissioning
Synchronous commissioning mode (since V15.1)
• Downloading is performed synchronously with configuration
• No further activities are possible during the download
• Maximum synchronism of the data between local session,
server project and PLC
Asynchronous commissioning mode (new with V16)
• In asynchronous commissioning, the data is downloaded to the
device by a second TIA Portal instance in the background
• This significantly reduces load times
• The TIA Portal instance running in the foreground can be operated
again immediately
• Feedback to the user if actions or decisions on downloading to the
device are necessary

OPC UA
S7-1500 – Server restart only for OPC UA-relevant changes
• When objects are loaded in RUN mode of the CPU, the OPC UA
server only stops if the loaded objects are OPC UA-relevant
• When objects are loaded in STOP mode of the CPU, the OPC UA
server always stops and then starts again
Before OPC UA-relevant objects are downloaded to the CPU
and stop the OPC UA server, STEP 7 displays a warning
in the preview dialog relating to the download.
You can then decide whether a server restart is acceptable for the
current process or whether you want to cancel the download.
These warnings are only displayed with a running OPC UA server.
If the OPC UA server is not activated, modified OPC UA data does
not have an impact on the download process.
Examples
• You only want to add an additional code block to the program.
Neither data blocks nor inputs, outputs, bit memory, times or
counters are affected
-> Reaction during download: A running OPC UA server is not
interrupted
• You want to download a new data block and you have marked
the data block as not OPC UA-relevant
-> Reaction during download: A running OPC UA server is not
interrupted
• You want to overwrite a data block where you have changed
the OPC UA properties in some way, e.g. you have changed
the property "Accessible from HMI/OPC UA" for a DB element
-> Reaction during download: A warning is displayed
stating that the server will be restarted

Intelligent load management
• Avoidance of expensive peak loads and optimization of the energy supply
through priority-based switch-on/-off of consumers & producers
• PLC-based load management – offers considerably higher flexibility and
availability as a pure PC-based solution
• Intuitive and simplified engineering of the actors (consumers
and producers) with automatic generation of the S7 program
• Screens included in scope of delivery (for WinCC Professional)
Generation of screens with SiVArc
• Significant reduction of engineering workload thanks to automatic screen
generation for all energy objects (energy measurement and load
management)
• For generation of the Energy Suite screen
no SiVArc license is required1
Performance and usability enhancements
• Reduced PLC cycle times thanks to optimized PLC code
(up to 40% quicker program execution compared with previous version)
• Improved engineering due to minor usability optimizations
