I picked up a Siemens S7 1200 from a buddy and I want to start fiddling around with it to learn about PLC's. I don't want to spend a lot of bucks to do this just wanna learn about PLC's. I have it powered up but with lights flashing...how do I configure it and to connect to my pc (MAC)?

Is there a document that explains how to do this?Quick setup guide etc...I looked on Siemens website but wow there is tons to look through where do i start?

Any help is appreciated...

🤞🏻
