Here are the shortcomings I've found in STEP 7 Basic V10.5 SP2 Update 1. Serious: 1. PLC simulator. 2. SCL programming language. 3. Undo function in editors. 4. CSV export/import of PLC/HMI tags, hardware configuration and Project texts (Languages & Resources). 5. Online program change. 6. Multi-instance FB (static variable of FB type). 7. Web server. 8. Dynamic indexing of arrays - array[variable]. - Found it among hidden instructions: FieldRead and FieldWrite. 9. Dynamic access to memory STL-style: LAR1, DBW, DIW etc. 10. Blockmove source and destination cannot be of different data types (it may be called a feature, but without dynamic access to memory it can be the last hope to do some efficient conversion). 11. Arrays of string and arrays of structures. =============Inconveniences: 1. Rows cannot be dragged in DB and in Interface declaration table; changing the order of rows is quite a pain; also not possible to move rows from one area to another (e.g. from Temp to Static) neither by dragging, nor by cut/paste. 2. Copied rows cannot be pasted in DB and in Interface declaration table over a blank row, only over another existing row or the area title (e.g. Temp, Static) - not intuitive. 3. When blocks (DB, FB, FC, OB) are copied their numbers are not changed automatically, hence a compilation error (https://www.automation.siemens.com/tf/WW/en/Posts/47970#top). 4. Not possible to jump through networks with Up and Down arrow keys when the cursor is over the network number (although compensated by Close all networks). 5. No hot keys for "Go to next/previous usage". Also this function is not there for the variables in Interface declaration table. 6. "Replace all" button is constantly disabled. 7. Not possible to copy all HMI tags into WinCC Flexible runtime simulator: neither by copy/paste, nor export/import (only AutoHotkey keyboard macro helps). |

Also What about Webserver? Regards. Tomy.

Without being able toread the whole thread... My wish list too: 1) Keep price low for S7-1200. 2) Add simulation to the TIA or develop an extra program. |

I wish that KTP upload is possible too (now just download, no upload). |
