What's new in PC|SCHEMATIC Automation 23.0.8.2

New in PC|SCHEMATIC Automation 23.0.6.23 (Aug 31, 2023)

  • Graphic changes:
  • The graphical changes are primarily in these areas:
  • New icons:
  • All icons have been switched to a newer 'look' – and it can be seen on all screen dumps in the document
  • New symbols:
  • In particular, the folders with 60617 and PLC symbols have changed: the IEC60617 symbols have changed their name so that they now follow the naming of the standard, and all texts are default in Arial. The PLC symbols have changed. This is both an extended functionality and a simplification. There is a description later in the document of how the symbols work and how the components are built.
