Functions of the individual software products
• SIMATIC STEP 7 in the TIA Portal
To use the SITOP UPS1600 in SIMATIC STEP 7 in the TIA Portal, it must have first been
saved to the hardware catalog. This can be realized by installing the relevant Hardware
Support Package (HSP) or the GSDML file.
• SIMATIC STEP 7
SITOP UPS1600 can be used with SIMATIC STEP 7 from Version 5.5 and higher. After
SITOP UPS1600 has been saved to the hardware catalog of STEP 7, it can be integrated
into projects, parameterized and diagnosed.
• SIMATIC PCS 7
SITOP UPS1600 can be used with SIMATIC PCS 7 from Version 8.2 SP1. After SITOP
UPS1600 has been saved in the hardware catalog and APL has been installed, it can be
integrated in the project, parameterized and diagnostics performed.
• SITOP Manager
The SITOP Manager is the new tool for commissioning, engineering and monitoring at
SITOP power supplies that are communication-capable. It is independent of engineering
frameworks such as the SIMATIC TIA Portal or the SIMATIC PCS 7. The SITOP Manager
replaces the UPS Manager tool.
• Web server
The web server is used to monitor the SITOP UPS1600. It operates independently of SITOP
Manager and PROFINET access.
• OPC UA
The OPC UA server is used for monitoring and controlling the SITOP UPS1600. It operates
independently of PROFINET and web server access.
