talotam Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 I have to be able to open up files for the Siemens S7 400 series CPU. A machine I am trying to connect to has this CPU system. What is the best (for the money) programming software package I can use for this application. I don't expect it to be cheap, but I need what will work. Help, please. A.S.A.P.
Moggie Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 Use original Siemens Software - Step 7 (Simatic Manager), Soon to be replaced by TIA Portal V11 Also check out PG2000 by process-informatik and S7 for windows from TTi; and others.
talotam Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks, Sparky. I'll check out the PG2000 today. I can't wait for the new TIA Portal VII.
JRoss Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 You can buy S7 now, and then get an upgrade when TIA11 comes out.
talotam Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Posted June 18, 2011 What is the cost of the S7 programming software? I need to get open and examine the files that my customer sent to me and get him fixed a.s.a.p. Also, where do I purchase? Is the software downloadable, or do I need to get the hard copy? Thanks,
Moggie Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) There is a version from Siemens (S7 lite) that is free. You have to register though. It is only for S7 300 projects but will give you a "feel" for the software. http://support.autom...iew/en/24372175 The PG2000 software is also available for download as a demo and will allow you to open limited blocks. Cost is available from the Process-informatik web site. Ask your local Siemens rep for cost of Step 7 . Edited June 19, 2011 by Moggie
