Improvements in TIA Portal V18 Update 3 WinCC Unified

IMPORTANT INFO:

Device versions with V18 Update 3
The new device version 18.0.0.3 has been introduced for Unified PC and Unified Panels in order
to be able to use the new functions which were introduced with V18 Update 3. Please note the
following:

  • If you open a project on a computer on which TIA Portal V18 is installed without an update,
    you cannot edit the devices contained there with device version 18.0.0.3.
  • If you switch from a device version 18.0.0.3 to a previous device version, you can no longer
    use new functions.
  • The functions introduced with V18 Update 3 are also supported by higher device versions.
    Unified PC
  • Install Update 3 for WinCC Unified Runtime on the target device before loading a device with
    device version 18.0.0.3.
  • If you load a device with the configured device version 18.0.0.0 onto a Runtime with a higher
    device version, warnings are displayed pointing out the different versions. To avoid
    incompatibilities, the projected device version should correspond to the actual Runtime
    version.
  • If your project contains the “GRAPH overview” or “PLC code display” screen objects, you must
    update the projected device version and reload the device after installing the Unified Runtime
    update.
  • Images can be downloaded from the Industry Online Support.
  • Images are released independent of WinCC (TIA Portal).
  • Use ProSave to import an image version that does not correspond to the configured device
    version onto a panel.
  • If a new image only contains improvements for the runtime of the device, this version is not
    shown in the engineering system. In this case, use the latest device version displayed in the
    engineering system.
  • If the image 18.0.0.0 is installed on the device, install image download version V18.0 Upd.3
    or higher before you load a device with the configured device version 18.0.0.3. When loading
    this device, activate the setting “Keep aspect ratio” in the “Load preview” dialog so that the
    new image version is transferred to the Panel. Alternatively, use ProSave.

Microsoft Edge limitation


If you want to start Runtime in Microsoft Edge and enter the address “https://localhost”, the error
message “INET_E_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND” appears. In this case, use the address “https://
localhost/WebRH”.
Use the latest browser version (for V18 Update 3: Microsoft Edge version 116 or higher).
