Omer_ Posts: 37 Rating: (2)	Hi , i have Tia Portal V11 + Sp 2 32bit , my computer is new and fast. I wonder , why Tia Portal is so slow ? Sometimes it can connect to HMI , sometimes not. All jobs in program are deadslow. Siemens trying to upgrade this software to faster one ? Or will it be remain like that ? When we will get new update or upgrade against these troubles ?

I have TIA Portal running inside an XP virtual machine with 4 GB of RAM and it is fairly quick. Yes, I have used other automation software from other vendors that is VERY fast by comparison, and yes, it is slow to respond to my input, and it can often sit apparently stuck. However, if you are using outlook, office products, internet exploder, or other software, Portal will be memory hungry and slow way down. With 8 GB of RAM, you should see a significant improvement.

I wish he swirled as well as the microwin s7-200 or as step7.

Ok, I'll go for a coffee and come back when it's done openning the project... I´ve used many different SCADA packages and in my experience, TIA Portal is expensive and slow, which means that it´s even more expensive as it needs more programming hours to get the same results. I appreciate the effort their developpers have made and I'm sure they will solve these problems in the near future. However, the year is 2012 and computers are fast and reliable. On the other side, software is getting more complex instead of faster, so the overall result is not very promising. If SIEMENS can't write good software then who can?

Yes they may not be 3000 euro monsters but still prety slick and all I (and every other programmer in my company) can say.: It is slow, it is retardedly slow, it so slow people building the machine started to wonder if I was slacking . It is so slow I got complaints from mechanical engineers that it takes a fricking 5 minutes to open a jaw. It is so slow we asked our next customer that specified TIA .... Are you sure? It is slow, it is so slow it costs money, which is a shame because a lot of features within TIA are very great but the speed is still so slow we programmers shy away from it. Siemens, fix this and you have a prime software development kit for machines but as it is standing now we rather avoid it at almostall costs.

Anyone that doesnt believe me then you have only done small 1200 projects. Do a med to large 300 project with safety. sorry just my two cents worth,
