Extension of existing SINAUT projects in the TIA Portal 
SINAUT projects with TIM modules for the SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 series, which were 
configured in STEP 7 V5, can be extended with communication modules of the S7-
1200/1500 series which are configured in STEP 7 Basic or STEP 7 Professional in the TIA 
Portal. 
The following modules are available as communication modules for expanding existing 
SINAUT systems: 
●  CP 1243-8 IRC 
As of STEP 7 Basic V13.0 SP1 
●  TIM 1531 IRC 
As of STEP 7 Professional V15 
To avoid having to create, configure and program the entire STEP 7 V5 project in STEP 7 
Professional, the STEP 7 V5 project can be expanded by S7-1200/1500 stations with 
compatible communication modules.
