More information
Important information about SCOUT, SCOUT stand-alone
and SCOUT TIA:
The following engineering packages are available to order:
•
SIMOTION SCOUT: this version can be used only if STEP 7
(SIMATIC Manager) is already installed
•
SIMOTION SCOUT stand-alone: this version can be used if
STEP 7 (SIMATIC MANAGER) is not installed.
Both delivery versions also include SIMOTION SCOUT TIA as an
optional package for the TIA Portal.
The SCOUT license as well as the SCOUT stand-alone license is
valid for SCOUT TIA.
SCOUT stand-alone also includes the components of STEP 7
that are required for SIMOTION SCOUT (SIMATIC CPUs cannot
be programmed).
Users who switch over from SCOUT stand-alone to SCOUT (or
vice versa) must install new software for the relevant SCOUT
version and purchase a new license (the license for SCOUT and
SCOUT stand-alone are different).
It is not possible to install SCOUT and SCOUT stand-alone "side
by side" on the same PC.
It is possible to install SCOUT TIA and SCOUT (or SCOUT stand-
alone) "side by side" on the same PC if the software version is
V4.4 or higher. Only one single SCOUT license is required for
"side-by-side" installations.
Compatibility list of
software products in the SIMOTION environment
A number of additional software products can be used in
conjunction with SIMOTION SCOUT. It must be ensured that the
corresponding versions of these software products are
compatible. Please consult the Compatibility list of software
products in the SIMOTION environment.
SIMOTION Kernel updates
SIMOTION Kernel updates for all SIMOTION platforms are
supplied on SCOUT DVDs and can then be copied from the
PG/PC to the SIMOTION Micro Memory Card (SIMOTION C) or
SIMOTION CompactFlash card (SIMOTION D) or installed on
SIMOTION P320-4.
A PC card adapter is needed to write to the SIMOTION MMC
(Micro Memory Card) or the SIMOTION CF (CompactFlash
card). Adapters can usually be found in PC shops and at
electronics shops.
With the device update tool, SIMOTION offers a user-friendly
solution to update SIMOTION devices. SIMOTION D4x5-2 can
also be updated using a USB stick.
