Hi See links Public Company; si; Industrial Automation industry August 2010 – October 2010 (3 months) Development of a test module (documentation and implementation) for a S7-1500 prototype, comparing execution time between C and SCL. http://es.linkedin.com/in/andreuramirez This is a brand page for theS7-1500trademark http://www.trademarkia.com/s71500-79084526.html |

Hello again RandomCoder here's some feedback to your questions (you added another entry to this post while I was busy replying to your previous one, so the Q&A's are not fully aligned anynmore, but I'm sure you'll make sense out it anyhow)
Correct. Note though a rather confusing naming convention applies now: WinCC flexible2008: It's the succesor to ProTool and can be used for all Panels as well as on PC's WinCCV7.x:A "full blown" PC based SCADA system and quite a different beast compared to WinCC flexible WinCC V11: The latest addition to the TIA Portal family. Looks and fells more likeWinCC flexible but with the functionality/power/scaleability of WinCC (or nearly, it will eventually fully replace the "classic "WinCC" as well asWinCC flexible)
WinCC flexible is the successor to ProTool and also allows you to convert a ProTool application to it. If ProTool did have enough features for your application in the past, WinCC flexible is the natural choice for you.
If you buy a Panel (e.g MP, TP etc.) it comes with WinCC flexible runtime "inbuilt" and a tag count of either 2000 or 4000 tags (Panel dependend). If you buy a PC (aPanel PC is also a PC), you need to buy a tag based WinCC flexible Runtime license.
You need WinCC Flexible ES (the Engineering software to configure the application). It is possible bundled with your Field PG, but pleasecheck this. Check too which WinCC Flexible ES version you will get. WinCC Flexible Standard can only be used to configurePanels (e.g. MP, TP, OP etc.). WinCC Flexible Advanced can be used for all Panaels as well as creating an application that runs on a PC.
It applies if WinCC flexible (Runtime) is used on a PC The development of an S7-1500 by Siemens are only rumours at this stage and Siemens will offcially neither deny nor confirm the rumours(I won't be surpised to see it realeased one day though and to be only configurable with TIA Portal Step 7)
I'd say that WinAC RTX executed on a half decent PC will beat a "real" S7-400 performance wise. You'll certainly won't run out of RAMand your overall program size can be rather HUGE. I hope it helps (and haven't missed anything) |

Hi WinAC MP2008 use RISC CPU. Therefore,if necessary,write an extension, add Activex, it willbedifficult |

Hello again, I thought that I'd feedback on what I have decided to use. The system will comprise of an MP 177 Touch HMI with WinAC and ET200 rack. The ET200 rack will be as pictured in the attached file... It is ideally suited to my application because I can also use sinking outputs and has a +/-80mV analogue input card. [schnippschnapp] new question is splitted to MP177 (6AV6652-2JC01-2AA0) doesn''t appear in the TIA V11. Thanks for all the advice, RandomCoder |

For me it seem your application is perfect for S7 300. and For Ethernet I would recoment CPU315-PN/DP. |
