Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens' products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network
segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers' exposure
to cyber threats.

SINETPLAN
SINETPLAN, the Siemens Network Planner, supports you in planning automation systems
and networks based on PROFINET. The tool facilitates professional and predictive
dimensioning of your PROFINET installation as early as in the planning stage. In addition,
SINETPLAN supports you during network optimization and helps you to exploit network
resources optimally and to plan reserves. This helps to prevent problems in commissioning
or failures during productive operation even in advance of a planned operation. This
increases the availability of the production plant and helps improve operational safety.
The advantages at a glance
●Network optimization thanks to port-specific calculation of the network load
●Increased production availability thanks to online scan and verification of existing systems
●Transparency before commissioning through importing and simulation of existing STEP 7
projects
●Efficiency through securing existing investments in the long term and optimal exploitation
of resources
You can find SINETPLAN on the Internet (https://www.siemens.com/sinetplan).

New con-
tents
Technology CPUs •Extension of the Technology-CPU portfo-
lio by the CPUs 1516T(F)-3 PN/DP
•All technology-CPUs feature the new
technology object TO_Kinematik. With the
TO_Kinematik you can implement com-
plex Motion Control applications for con-
trolling 2D, 3D and 4D kinematics.
Starting from section System
overview (Page 22)
CPU 1518(F)-4 PN/DP MFP •Extension of the CPU portfolio by the
CPUs 1518(F)-4 PN/DP MFP (multifunc-
tional platform)
•The CPU can execute both STEP 7
blocks of the "usual" user programs and
blocks and applications which were pro-
grammed with C/C++.
•The multifunctional platform offers you the
option of running C/C++ code synchro-
nously in the CPU cycle (via the CPU
function library). In addition, the multifunc-
tional platform can run C/C++ applications
as separate applications in parallel to
CPU runtime.
•With C/C++ applications you can imple-
ment parallel processes for the STEP 7
user program, e.g. for pre-processing or
sending data via Industrial Ethernet. A
CPU can perform several tasks at the
same time, the complexity of functions is
reduced and the time required for imple-
mentation is reduced.
•You can re-use existing technological
know-how in C/C++ code synchronously
and asynchronously to the STEP 7 user
program.

Password provider As an alternative to manual entry of pass-
word, you can connect a password provider
to STEP 7. A password provider offers you
the following advantages:
•More convenient handling of passwords.
STEP 7 automatically imports the pass-
word for the blocks. This saves you time
•Optimum block protection as the users do
not know the password themselves
Section Know-how protection
(Page 197)
GetSMCinfo instruction With the help of the GetSMCinfo instruction
you can respond to information provided by
the memory card in the user program and if
required, replace the memory card as a pre-
c
autionary measure. This is particularly useful
if you frequently write data to the card in your
application, e.g. when using data logs.

memory card (Page 259)
Testing with breakpoints When testing with breakpoints, you execute a
program from one breakpoint to another.
Testing with breakpoints provides you with
the following advantages:
•Testing SCL and STL program code with
the help of breakpoints
•Localization of logic errors step by step
•Simple and quick analysis of complex
programs prior to actual commissioning
•Recording of current values within individ-
ual executed loops
•Use of breakpoints for program validation
also possible in SCL/STL networks within
LAD/FBD blocks
