Operating systems

As of STEP 7 V5.4 SP3, the MS Windows Vista 32 Business and Ultimate operating systems are also supported.

SIMATIC Manager

·         There are two formats available for displaying the date and the time. You can select a display in the respective STEP 7 national language and or in ISO 8601 standard format. To make this setting, go to the SIMATIC Manager, open the "Customize" dialog box and select the "Date and Time" tab.

·         You can have module times displayed in the local time for your programming device (PG)/PC. To make this setting, go to the SIMATIC Manager, open the "Customize" dialog box and select the "Date and Time" tab.

·         You have the option of restricting access to projects and libraries by assigning a password to them. In order to do this, you must have installed SIMATIC Logon V1.3 SP1 and SIMATIC Logon V1.4 SP1 under MS Windows Vista (as of now referred to as SIMATIC Logon) (see What You Should Know About Access Protection).

·         After setting up access protection for projects and libraries, you have the option of keeping a change log that records online actions such as "Download", "Operating Mode Changes", and "Reset". In order to do this, you must have installed SIMATIC Logon V1.3 SP1 and SIMATIC Logon V1.4 SP1 under MS Windows Vista (as of now referred to as SIMATIC Logon) (see What You Should Know About Access Protection).

·         As of V5.4 SP3, the supplied PKZip V8.6 CLI archiving program is provided as a standard component for archiving and retrieving projects and library. Under MS Windows Vista, ARJ.exe,  previously supplied on the CD is no longer installed for this operating system due to lacking compatibility. PKZip V8.6 CLI supports the ZIP format that is standard in STEP 7 and which can also open some other archive formats, such as ARJ. If the previously used archive format is no longer available under MS Windows Vista, or if it is not supported by PKZip, retrieve your projects on the platform you have used to date and archive them again with PKZip V8.6 CLI.
