1 Security Information

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.

To protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement and continuously maintain a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens' products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.

Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.

For additional information on industrial security measures, please visit: https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.

Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer's exposure to cyber threats.

2 Notes on Installation

2.1 Installing the Logic Matrix

Software Requirements

To operate the Logic Matrix V9.1 Update 2, the following software packages must be installed:

For Logic Matrix Editor V9.1 Update 2: PCS 7 V9.1 or higher
For Logic Matrix Viewer V9.1 Update 2: PCS 7 V9.1 or higher

Available Installation Units

Logic Matrix consists of the following installation units:

Logic Matrix Editor V9.1 Update 2: For creating, configuring a logic matrix, and automatic generation of CFCs in a PCS 7 project on a PCS 7 engineering system (ES).
Logic Matrix Viewer V9.1 Update 2: For operator control and monitoring using icons, faceplates, and controls on a PCS 7 operator station (OS).

Installing Logic Matrix

The Setup program guides you through all steps of the installation. You can switch to the next window from any position or return to the previous window. To install the add-on package, proceed as follows:

Ensure that the software requirements are met.
Close all applications before starting the Setup program.
Start the SETUP.EXE program on the installation media "SIMATIC Logic Matrix V9.1 Update 2".
Follow the instructions of the setup program.

License Key (Usage Authorization)

The Logic Matrix Viewer V9.1 Update 2 requires a license key. This license key is installed in the same way as for STEP 7 and the add-on packages. Information on installing and working with license keys can be found in the Readme file and the basic help for STEP 7.

Web Capability of the Logic Matrix

To display the Logic Matrix on a Web client, the "Microsoft .Net 4.5" software must be installed on the Web client. The software is available on the PCS 7 Toolset DVD.

Undo Function of Logic Matrix

The Undo function of the Logic Matrix does not involve a general undo action. The user is given the opportunity to undo the last deletion of a cause or effect.

3 What's New?

3.1 Notes on V9.1

Logic Matrix V9.1 contains the following enhancements or corrections:

Control Module Types are supported for Cause and Effect links. Connection to CM types can be configured for links.
Alternative links can be configured for Cause links.
Display of the matrix in the editor and in the OS runtime can be configured separately.
Matrix projects from older versions of Logic Matrix can be migrated to the currently installed version by opening the project in the editor or by using the "Migrate" menu command.
Incomplete matrix configuration is notified with a dialog box before the start of matrix CFC generation.
During matrix CFC generation of a new project, the LM_DigCause block is inserted in the matrix CFC if only digital input tags are configured for a Cause.
During matrix CFC generation of a migrated project, the standard block LM_Cause is replaced by the digital Cause block LM_DigCause in the matrix CFC if only digital input tags are configured for a Cause.
Cause row and Effect column are highlighted when selecting an interconnection cell.
The Pin button can be used to keep the "Input/Output Tag selection" or "Cause/Effect direct link" dialog box pinned on top of the screen while selecting the links.
In the "Cause/Effect direct link" dialog boxes, sort and filter buttons can be used in the "Plant Hierarchy" column header.

3.2 Notes on V9.1 Update 1

Logic Matrix V9.1 Update 1 contains the following enhancements or corrections:

When using Causes with digital inputs only, alarm handling did not work in Logic Matrix V9.1. This issue has now been resolved. If a matrix was handled with faulty Logic Matrix V9.1, a full compile of OS is required after installing this update (Logic Matrix V9.1 Update 1).

3.3 Notes on V9.1 Update 2

Note: The changes from all previous updates are also included in the respective subsequent update.

Logic Matrix V9.1 Update 2 contains the following enhancements or corrections:

When generating a matrix, the time stamp in the matrix generation log did not match the time stamp of the engineering system (ES). This issue has now been resolved. The time zone of the matrix generation log has been changed to match the time zone of the ES.
An unhandled exception error occurred when multi-user engineering operation was performed. This issue has now been resolved. Note that Logic Matrix does not support multi-user engineering and all exceptions are now handled internally.
After importing the project data and generating the matrix, it is no longer possible to download changes to the automation system (AS). This issue has now been resolved. A message is now displayed indicating that there was an interface change and the delta download capability will be lost. You can either continue with the change or cancel the operation.

Legal Information

Warning Notice System

This manual contains notices that must be observed to ensure personal safety and prevent damage to property. Notices referring to personal safety are highlighted by a safety alert symbol. Notices referring only to property damage do not have a safety alert symbol. These notices are graded according to the degree of danger:

DANGER: Indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING: Indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION: Indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTICE: Indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage.

Qualified Personnel

The product/system described in this documentation may only be operated by personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation, particularly its warning notices and safety instructions.
