Why does Siemens state in TIA portal V12 that plcsim is supposed to support S-1200 cpu and it does not?

Picture below Hello Janci54, I appreciate your question. I don't know the exact reason for so, but it is likely that the S7-1200 simulation software which will come in near future has the similar functionalities of S7-1500. (Simulation tables, Sequences, etc)

With the low cost for the s7-1200 in the starter kit packages, I think it would make more sense to get the portal basic software, buy starter kit, and spend less than getting more advanced portal at higher cost and get simulation option.

You may copy + paste all your 1200 blocks after creating a S7-1500 CPU. This perfectly works. The sad part is if you have only STEP 7 Basic. (we need to wait some more months... long wait it was already)

(we need to wait some more months... long wait it was already) While I agree, I also think Siemens made the hardware so inexpensive that putting one on your desk is less expensive and more satisfying that paying for Professional, and ultimately ensures any differences are handled when things get complicated and things are supported differently between the two devices. If there were a perfectly useful simulator, my test plc would still be used for scan time estimates rather than my computer simulating the plc. Maybe V15?
