You can find out more about it here: http://www.ibhsoftec-sps.de/english Another alternativeS5 editoris "PLC workshop for S5" from FasTrak (http://www.fast-soft.com) which does costs some 5 times as much as the one from IBH Softec though Ihope this helps Cheers Fritz

Having said that, I have not tried this out for myself (COM packages certainly work underSiemens's Step 5),so best to be checked with the supplier if this is a must have funtionality. Cheers Fritz

Reid Posts: 14 Rating: (0)	Excuse my lack of understanding, but what is meant by calling the COM packages? Does this mean I can access the Step 5 communications driverswith another programming package such as VB or C++ for HMI developement? Thanks, Reid
