The right question is When will be valid for ordering?. So contact with your local Siemens representative... Best regards, Hristo Mihalev

Hello, I don't think it will be valid for download. The right question is When will be valid for ordering?. So contact with your local Siemens representative... Best regards, Hristo Mihalev Since 10.0 was upgraded by a download 10.5 and then SP1 and SP2 as well as downloaded HSPs, I would guess the firmware Rev2.0 and 11.0 upgrade would also be available as a download. I already contacted my local Siemens rep asking for order #'s (even before it was officially premiered). Perhaps the resident experts will post order #'s for people who can't wait for the downloads ;) I hear lots of nice things about this V11.0, but until I have it installed and running onaPLC -it's vaporware..... Just kidding, I'm sure the software really exists. I have no idea why we have to wait until next year for it.

Even look at WinCC Professional 10.0 (part of TIA11) http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/43184652 This info was before 3 months. (Step7 v5.5) But doesn't exist for us. Only for internal use, you know tests... Best regards, Hristo Mihalev

There will be an upgrade from "10.5 Basic" to "11.0 Basic" or if you want to "11.0 Professionell". If you have a software update contract, you will get it automatically. Just lets wait for beginning of next year, than you will get a good working and thorough tested software. The software already exists, I saw it on the SPS-fair in Nuremberg. There are a lot of nice new features. Maybe Firmware will be available as download (similar like v1.1 and 1.2). But without the software, you won't be lucky with that ;) regards

They said that V11 should be started to sell starting from January, but it's just unofficial talk. So need to wait. Therefore there is bad thing about V11. I think you will need at least 1920x1080 resolution and i5 core to run it smoothly. That's a bad thing. Now I'm running on Field-PG M with Intel Mobile 1.6 GHz, so I need new notebook as well

If you have Step 7 Pro and WinCC Flex Advanced, and you get the SUS for both, then you will get the TIA Portal for free. If you buy these software packeges, or Step 7 Basic, in 2010, Siemens has a promotion going where you will get the SUS (Software Update Service) for free for 2011. This means the TIA Portal V11is for free. You will not be able to just order or buy V11. V11 is, in essence Step 7 Pro and WinCC Adv. Just to explain in more detail - If you use and program only the 1200, you would have Step 7 Basic. There is a SUS for it which is about $100. For Basic, the V11 has some cool new features including new hardware (I/O modules, GSM module), enhanced functions like PID control with 2 inputs for one output (imagine an app. needing cooling and heating at the same time), data logging on the SD card (I know I have wanted this since the 1200 was released), and other advancedfeatures. If you use other platforms like the ET200, S7-300 & 400, and have Step 7 Pro and WinCC, then V11 is going to give you the TIA Portal. This means that your new programming software for the ENTIRE line of Siemens automation products will be done on this one, uniform tool. This will include the 1200. Eventually, the integrated drives will also be configured usinng the portal. With Step 7 Basic, you could only program the basic panels. With the portal, you can use any Siemens HMI with this software. Libraries are going to be big in that you can share them across many platforms. I think Siemens is going to blowing A-B out of the water with this new software. They had originally scheduled it to be released in mid-January, but it is looking more like February. It will be worth the wait. I have it on a virtual machine for some testing and it is awesome! It won't be on any download as it is the biggest product announcement for Siemens in 15 years.
