- Windows 7 Ultimate, Professional (32 and 64 Bit), including SP1
- Windows 8 Pro (32 and 64 Bit)
- Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 Bit), including SP1
- Windows Server 2012 (64 Bit)
A major highlight of the SIMATIC NET V12 is the enhanced support of virtual environments. This includes the release of VMware ESXi V5.1, the virtual Standard Switch (vSS) and the virtual Ethernet Adapter (E1000). Additionally, the feature VMware vMotion for SOFTNET-IE S7 was released for use with vSS and E1000. What’s more, the SIMATIC NET PC software has been enhanced with the following new functionalities:
- Optimized S7-communication (S7 Opt). Beginning with the SIMATIC NET DVD V12, the SIMATIC NET OPC Server will support the optimized block access of the S7-1500 PLC. One of the benefits is that inconsistencies due to errors when using absolute accesses are avoided, because the access is always symbolic. In addition, the access to type-coded data blocks, higher performance, and password protection are provided.
- Configuration change from NCM PC to STEP7 Professional V12 SP1. Beginning with the SIMATIC DVD V12, the configuration tool STEP7 Professional V12+SP1 will be included in the delivery. This means a replacement of NCM PC against the compatible configuration with STEP7 V12 (TIA-Portal). Please bear in mind that STEP7 Professional has not been released for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.
- Release of SOFTNET-IE S7 REDCONNECT VM for non-virtual systems. In addition to its use in virtual environments (VMware vSphere ESXi V5.1), SOFTNET-IE S7 REDCONNECT VM was also released for use in non-virtual environments.
- Combination of industrial protocols and SOFTNET-IE RNA. The combination of industrial protocols is now possible with SOFTNET-IE RNA. Consequently, SOFTNET-IE RNA V12 can be employed in the environment of S7-H systems communication (e.g. via CP443-1 RNA). This provides the possibility of combining network redundancy with the SOFTNET-IE S7 REDCONNECT VM product via PRP and automation redundancy via H-system solutions.
- ALM V5.2 SP1. The current Automation License Manager V5.2 SP1 is supplied with the SIMATIC NET DVD V12; amongst other features, it provides the possibility of hierarchically structured storage of License Keys (by creating special License Key folders). In addition, the handling of license keys has been further optimized.
- Documentation in Chinese. The SIMATIC NET DVD V12 now includes the documentation in Chinese.
