The easiest way to achieve this is to build a Windows XP Pro virtual machine using something like VMWare Workstation. Once you have WinXP up and running you'll need to install Siemens Step5 v7.21. As far as I know this was the last version released. As for connection from the PC to the PLC, that dep...

The S5 v7.xx that you're using only shows 1 segment of code at a time. The line at the bottom of the segment *** means 'end of segment'.

As suggested press page down and you'll see segment 2, then 3 and so on.

Hi guys. Is there a software package that will monitor / diagnose Siemens profibus DP networks ? For example, I have a S7-4162DP, it has danfoss inverters and several distributed I/O racks on the network. ET200M for example. Is there something better than just using the online representation of the ...

You still need this ? I'll have to check when I get to work, I might have it. I've got most of the old S5 addon packages.

I have Step5 training course manuals. I've been to Siemens house in Manchester about 8 times for different courses over the years. I can make a pdf file using our xerox copy centre at work. You'll also want the 'bible' as we call it. Never seen it in electronic format, but again, I'll make a pdf of ...

Hi guys. I'm trying to do something that's probably really easy when you know how, but I don't.
I have a datablock that has 60 data words in it, all in INT format.
I simply want to add together the values of the first 16 datawords.
I'm using an S7-313C 2DP.
Any tips please? Thanks.

Hi guys, I have a little application where I would like to copy a datablock to another. I've seen OB182 mentioned but not sure if I can use it on a 944B , nor can I find it. Could anyone confirm if I can use this on my CPU , and if so do you have it please ? I simply want to copy DB100 (65 words) to...

Hi guys. I'm trying to do some maths in a 115u 944B CPU. I'd like to divide a fixed value of 768 by a variable value. I'd like the result to be to 1 decimal place. Currently my variable value is in DB10, DW24 in KF format. I've used FB243 to divide 768 by DW24, but this ofcourse is no decimal places...

HI thanks for the link. Thats a great package, I have most of them but it has a few I was missing.

Great cheers.

Hi guys, I'm struggling to find COM535 addon package for Step5. This is used to program the very old 535 H1 comms card. Does anyone have this please ?

Thanks

Hi guys, can anyone help with this. I'm trying to setup a Trend View and assign a multiplex tag to the trend property so I can select the source of the trend from a drop down box list. However I can't get it to accept it so far. It seems it may be a limitation of the software, can anyone tell me if ...

Hi again. Thanks for the info. I can atleast see how its done now. However, if I make a licence have 25 keys, they still only show in ALM as 1 key. Is this because they are old keys and I'm using ALM 3.x ?

I know the short keys have been finished now but I still use them. Especially in the case of Step5. Could you help me find out how this was done please , it would be a great help for me to distribute keys in this way around my site. I have many PC's and many PLC systems. I'm just interested to see h...

Yes, this one is a short key.

Ok here's the picture from ALM 3.0 showing the 25 licences in one entry.

OK, I've done that but that's not what I'm asking for. I made a yellow disk with S7 v5.4 key on it. In ALM the key shows once in the list but has 25 keys.

How do I make more like this one ?

Hi thanks for the reply, I have already read through most of that thread, but it seems like its just showing me how to view them. I'd like to know how to create the multi key file from the start. Basically I'd like one entry in ALM3.0 that shows many licences for Step5 Step7 WinCC flex PLCSim. Could...

Hi guys, like the site, I've found some great information here. I have a question if someone could help please. When I view a license in ALM3.0 I would like to have many licenses in one. Where it says 'Number of license keys' it always says 1. I've made a yellow disk from the EKBRename software and ...
