TIA Portal V19 – release date and what’s new

Siemens announced release date of TIA Portal V19 during event at SPS in Nuremberg. That comes exactly a year after V18 was announced. TIA Portal V19 trial available for download from 24 November 2023!

What we know so far:

Introduction of SIMATIC S7-1500V

The SIMATIC S7-1500V is an entirely virtual PLC. It is based on the functions and operation of the SIMATIC S7-1500 PLC and independent of its hardware.

TIA Portal V19 further fosters efficient engineering in automation:

• New multiuser engineering for SIMATIC WinCC Unified System
• Modularization and standardization are a key element of efficient engineering. TIA
  software offers named value data types within Software Units and extends its
  utilization towards Motion Control applications
• Agile development workflows with TIA Portal V19 significantly reduces engineering
  time in automation engineering and ensures software quality by enhancements in
  testing and simulation
• Version 19 brings even more enhancements: The new version offers extended functions for improved engineering, including software units that help with modularization. This allows different users to create their own work-spaces and write complex motion applications, among other things. Simplify motion control engineering with the SIMATIC Motion Interpreter
• Extended availability in Cloud Engineering – instant access to TIA Portal versions
  V14…V19
• Simple integration of security standards in hardware and software and logging of
  changes on SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs

New object types in TIA Portal V19.

• TIA Portal Test Suite rules
• WinCC Unified screens, messages and variables. New “Exclusive Multiuser Mode”
• The new Exclusive Multiuser mode allows quick changes to objects that cannot be edited in a local session, e.g. changes to the device configuration.
• When switching to the exclusive multiuser mode, all changes are retained in the local session.
• The precondition for switching quickly to exclusive multiuser mode is that the local session is based on the current project revision.
  Advantages
• Switching to exclusive multiuser mode is done directly from the current local multiuser session.
• Using Server Project View is often no longer necessary.
• The transfer of changes to the TIA Project-Server from the exclusive multiuser mode is significantly improved.

STEP 7 – Named value data types within Software Units

Within software units, user can create now data types with named values (NVTs). It is a data type that is defined by a set of named, constant values ​of a certain elementary data type (Byte, Word, Int, …). Variables of the data type named value can also accept values that are not defined in the NVT.

Rumors are that new licensing will be introduced in TIA Portal V19 using yearly subscription and cloud. We will post soon more info.
