SIMATIC Automation Tool device support

7.1

Unrecognized firmware versions and devices

The device support tables show the correspondence between SIMATIC Automation Tool
V2.1, SIMATIC device model, possible firmware versions, and supported tool operations.
If you connect an unrecognized SIMATIC device on your network, then there are two
possibilities.
● The SIMATIC Automation Tool V2.1 recognizes the device article number, but the
firmware version is newer than latest supported firmware version. In this case, the device
is loaded in the Device table, but the supported tool operations are restricted to those that
were possible with the latest supported firmware version.
● The SIMATIC Automation Tool V2.1 does not recognize the article number. In this case,
the device is not supported, no entry is made in the Device table, and no tool operations
are possible.
