Tia Portal V17 Hsp New -

The Hardware Support Packages (HSP) for TIA Portal V17 allow you to integrate new hardware components and firmware versions into your hardware catalog that were not available when the software was originally released. Recent HSP Additions for V17

Recent updates to the Siemens Industry Online Support (SIOS) list several new packages for V17: HSP0398: SCALANCE X200/X300, FW4.6. HSP0424 V2.0: SIMATIC IPC477E PRO (replaces V1.0).

HSP0311 V3.0: SIMATIC ET 200SP F-TM ServoDrive/StepDrive, FW-Version 2.0. HSP0379: SIMATIC S7-1500 TM NPU, FW-Version 2.0. HSP0357: SIMATIC ET 200SP AI RTD/TC HF, FW-Version 2.1. How to Install HSPs

You can update your hardware catalog using one of the following methods:

Here’s a short, engaging story that explains TIA Portal V17 HSP (Hardware Support Package) “new” in a memorable way, using a real-world scenario. tia portal v17 hsp new

Title: The Case of the Missing Profinet Drive

Characters:

  • Maya – A seasoned automation engineer, proud but running late.
  • Old PLC – A loyal but outdated S7-300.
  • New Servo Drive – Fresh from the factory, speaks only “HSP V17.”

Part 3: The “New” Twist

But the drive still showed a yellow warning triangle. Configuration mismatched.

She right‑clicked the drive > Change device. There it was: a new version number with a tiny “(new)” badge next to the firmware version. That “new” indicated: The Hardware Support Packages (HSP) for TIA Portal

  • Updated GSDML internally via the HSP.
  • Support for new sub‑modules (like extended diagnostics).
  • Compatibility with older PLCs without needing a full TIA update.

Maya selected the “new” entry, downloaded the configuration again, and the green LEDs finally lit up.

Part 1: The Upgrade That Wasn’t

Maya had a simple task: replace a failing servo drive on a bottling line. The original drive was discontinued, but the vendor swore the new model was “100% compatible.”

She opened TIA Portal V17 (no “Update 1” or “Update 2” yet – just the base version). She dragged the new drive from the hardware catalog… but it wasn’t there.

She searched: “6SL3210-xxxxx.” Nothing.
She filtered by order number. Nothing.
She restarted TIA. Nothing. Title: The Case of the Missing Profinet Drive

The PLC (an old S7-315) blinked its error LED like a judgmental owl.

“Don’t look at me,” the PLC seemed to say. “I’m just the messenger.”

3. Method A: "Download New HSPs" (The "HSP New" Action)

This is the most common method to find "new" support for your V17 installation.

  1. Open TIA Portal V17.
  2. In the Portal View (the default start screen), look at the left-hand navigation pane.
  3. Click on "Support" (sometimes labeled "Help & Support" depending on specific updates).
  4. Select "Download new HSPs".
    • Note: If you are in the Project View, you can often find this under the Help menu at the very top toolbar.
  5. A browser window or a dedicated download manager will open, connecting to the Siemens Industry Online Support server.
  6. You will see a list of available packages.
    • Filter: Ensure the filter is set to TIA Portal V17.
  7. Check the boxes for the hardware you need (e.g., "S7-1200 CPU family").
  8. Click Download.

3.2 Delta Installation and Version Management

Unlike earlier versions where an HSP overwrote system files, V17 introduces side-by-side HSP versioning. Engineers can maintain multiple HSP revisions for the same device family, allowing parallel work on projects using different hardware revisions.
