S5?
Yeah, it works... eventually, but only after a great deal of mental mind-f'ing... or rather, mind-bending.
But I've always had to wonder... what the hell were they smokin' when they came up with that particularly obtuse way of looking at logic, logical elements, and logical functions?
If you are switching to an S7-2XX then you will be mightly impressed with the difference. Once you shake the S5-think, you will find that you can think more rationally, and more easily... without all of the mind-.... bending.
However, if you are switching to an S7-3XX or -4XX... well, you won't be moving far from where you were. In that case... too bad for you.
It's a damned shame that Siemens is trying to down-play and, probably, eliminate the S7-2XX line. They stumbled onto the best development philosophy when they bought the TI line... and now they are running it into the ground... to ultimate elimination.
Are all Europeans this crazy? Or is it only the Germans?
My main process was designed and built by a German concern. After we ran it for a while according to their "think"... we had at it, in a practical sense. Control-wise, and maintenance-wise, they wouldn't recognize it now.
So... is it all Europeans, or is it just the Germans?
