Hello there,
Firstly I would to thank you all for the work you are doing in here.
The company im working for wants to acquire the new STEP 7 TIA portal v12 and The WinCC.
The STEP 7 is gonna be the professional one for its options to also work with S7-300.
The problem comes with the right WinCC version.
- We will do the scada to be runned in one single station. I have read that both the advanced and professional version can perform the scada for a single station.
So i was thinking about the WinCC Advanced version.
- Do they both (engineering package) come with runtime? could we operate the plant without buying the runtime package?.
In the quotation they sent me, the WinCC Professional Runtime 512 power tags is more expensive than the design Software so if we can operate the plant without buying any runtime, just with the engineering software, it would be great.
- The company is starting to do its automation designs, therefore What do you think about Siemens technical support?
I have read on the website that they also do the commissioning, anybody here has any bad opinion about that service?
Best Regards and Thank you in advance,
José
