Hi DiDul Ya, As Prats mentioned it is very difficult to predict the effort required without knowing the scope of the project. A small test project can be created in less than an hour whereas a real medium sized project could take days and weeks... As for the languages, most of it is Siemens proprietary (conforming to the various IEC standards). For programming the PLC's CFC and SFC packages are used. The blocks used in the CFC can be programmed in SCL or STL or LAD or FBD. For HMI a separate product called WinCC is used. In WinCC there is an option of using VB script and C script for various tasks. It is very difficult to describe the entire PCS7 system in a few lines... I recommend you read the "Getting Started" guides: SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 V7.0 SP1 PCS 7 - Getting Started - Part 1 SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 V7.0 PCS7 - Getting Started - Part 2
