This is a bit of a rant lol, my first 5 years as a systems integrator was using Siemens, then I came to the dark side of Allen Bradley / Rockwell. It baffles me their software packages are tied per version firmware. It is a strange model given that Rockwell PLCs are so expensive. As someone who has used Siemens, I don't find RSLogix and its tools superior at all.
The thing with siemens is that you use either Step7 or Tia, and call it a day. No need to buy another version because of a higher firmware exists.
Can someone explain if there is good reasoning behind their logic, or is it pure money, money, money.........money?
