Hello CC2 blame Siemens for the misunderstandingas their naming conventionfor the new TIA Portal related Step 7 are (possibly deliberately?) a source ofconfusion. TIA Portal related Step 7 (current - or just about to be released - Version is V11) is called either: - (TIA Portal) Step 7 Basicor - (TIA Portal) Step 7 Professional The "traditional" Step 7 (aka Simatic Manager, V5.5 is the current version) is alsoavailable as either: - Step 7 Basis(with LAD/FBD/STL included)or - Step 7 Professional (with LAD/FBD/STL,SCL,S7 Graph and PLCSIM included) I hope this helps |

Hello Robster the basis for the confusion is due toSiemens basically applying the same naming convention to TIA Portal related Step 7 as they already had for the "traditional" Step 7. There is method behind the madness though (I think) as TIA Portal which eventually be be the only available Step 7 (give it 5 to 7 years I'd say, but I am purely guessing here). Anyway, the "traditional" Step 7 does definetely also exist under the name of "Step 7 Basis" even though it was rarely evercalled thatby anyone (you would havesimply called it "Step 7" and made the distinction to the more powerful version by calling it "Step 7 Professional"). Don't take my word for it though, attached is the extract from the Brochure that caused CC2'sconfusion and I hope this helps.
