Hi Remi,

with TIA Portal you can work only with hardware produced after
November 2009. Everything that Siemens produced earlier is likely
to be not supported.

If you work with the older version of Step 7, eg. Step7 V5.5, you
should have success. In this case you cannot use S7-1200 and S7-1500.
All other hardware from the S7-300 and S7-400 family should be supported.

Greetings from HH, Joachim
