1 Introduction

1 Introduction
The new controller generation SIMATIC S7-1500 has an up-to-date system
architecture and, together with TIA Portal, offers new and efficient programming
and configuration options.
This document contains recommendations and notes for users, regarding the new
generation, who have so far been using SIMATIC S7-300/S7-400 automation
systems and are planning to change to the new SIMATIC controller generation
S7-1500.
Purpose of this document
The objective of this document is to support plant migration to a modern controller
generation and cover the most important questions that may arise in this context.
This document does not claim to cover all conceivable plant configurations and
SIMATIC S7-300/S7-400 components used.
Migration means changing software and hardware and transferring data from one
environment to another largely using existing technological infrastructure. Migration
goes beyond a simple update or upgrade and refers to a fundamental change of
the system.
