Compatibility
Uniform conformity between controller families creates
investment protection; so programming environment is the
same for all controllers, and this helps you to facilitate full
project modularity.
Code modularity which allows the reuse of existing
automation components like an SCL program. You can use
the same code whether its for the S7-1200 or the larger S71500
Tag database modularity maintains data integrity because
you can create a tag database once, and simply reuse it for
new projects as many times as you would like.
Investment protection realization with the S7-1200 & TIA Portal

The object can then be reused

in other parts of the project or
other projects
Master copies can also be

copied from one library to
another

Page 99
Adding Preconfigured PLC tags from Global Library:

1.
Open Global library by clicking on the Open global library

button in the Global libraries area of the Libraries tab.
Select the library S7-1200 Intro located in the Student
folder on the Windows desktop.
2.
Drag and drop the S7-1200 Demo IO Tag Table object from
the Master copies folder of the library to the PLC tags folder
of the project tree. A new tag table will be added.

Customer Benefit -> How can a Library object be reused?
Library objects that were previously saved to the Project library or Global
library can be copied back into the existing project via drag and drop.
For this lab exercise, we will copy library objects that contain a PLC tag
