Now, In one of my S7400 PLC project i have CPU412-2PN which is not available in Hardware Configuration.i need Step7 V5.5 for the same. Now i have software of Step7 V5.5. Till now i have not installed Step7 V5.5. Can i install this software in my laptop as already PCS7 V7.0 is installed? After installation of Step7 V5.5, my PCS7 V7.0 will work or it may create a problem? Because i am working intwo differentproject(PCS7 & Step7)together. Thanks in advance.

Dhruva Posts: 89 Rating: (4)	Dear Amit, First you have to uninstall the PCS7 V7.0 or better format that. And then Re-install Windows OS and Step 7. Having PC with PCS7 V7.0 will create problem while installing the Step 7 V5.5. It will give message like PCS7 component was found. If you want Step7 V5.5 in PCS7 then you have to get PCS7 V7.1 SP2

Niranjan Prasad Posts: 691 Rating: (37)	Also for VM Ware you should have sufficient Disk Space ( About 10 GB as Installing XP will consume 3 GB and rest for your Work) . Sufficient RAM Processor .If you don't have sufficient RAM Space, your performance of both PC and VMWare will be affected. VMWare shares RAM also. I will advice, once you made your VMWare Software Installation, then make a copy of the Folder to make Master Backup. In case your VMWare gets affected with Virus, You can delete the running VMWare and get a copy of the Master Backup, where your Softwares will be installed earlier.
