One laptop multiple plc programs

Post by dimz »

Hello everybody
I want to use three (or more) plc programs (eg.Siemens step7, schneider pl7, AB slc500) at the same windows xp laptop or windows7 laptop (TIA portal, Somachine etc). Is this possible?. Or i should use one laptop for one plc program. I know that it might be a problem with drivers for programming cables. Does anyone knows something more?. Thank you

Dear no problem to use one laptop for ma
ny plc programs and it will not make conflict for driver of programming cables.I already use one laptop for all plc but it is better to install to Windows in same laptop for example Windows 7 for new program that support it and Windows xp for old program.
