Retrieving the Ident library

To be able to configure Ident systems using STEP 7 Basic/Professional, you require suitable
Ident instructions. The Ident library with the Ident profile and the Ident blocks are integrated
in STEP 7 as of V13 SP1 and no longer need to be integrated.
Requirement
The TIA Portal has been started and a project created.
Procedure
Follow the steps below to link the Ident library into STEP 7 Basic/Professional (V13 or older):
1. Copy the installation file (*.zalxx) locally to your PC.
You will find the file on the Internet on the Support home page
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/90063944).
2. Open the TIA Portal and change to the project view.
3. Open the "Libraries" tab on the right edge of the screen.
4. Right click in the area "Global libraries".
5. Select "Retrieve library" from the shortcut menu.
The "Retrieve archived global library" dialog is opened.
6. Go to the extracted library file "Identification_Vx.x.zalxx" and select it.
7. Confirm your entry with "OK".
Result: The Ident library is extracted and linked into the TIA Portal.
