Hello all, I am new to siemens s7 software but very proficient in all AB programming. I would like to know from someone who is proficient in siemens if the 'online' programming for ladder is really as bad as I have experienced or if I am doing something wrong.
-Should only 1 segment be displayed as 'online' at once? I click on a segment and wait a few seconds before I see the power flow and values of the data.
-Sometimes all the values of a segment are not displayed, and I am left creating a VAT table just to view that data for a rung.
-The VAT tables seems to suck a lot of memory and take a long time to open/read/write
If this is just the way the software works than I will have to live with it. Just hoping I was doing something wrong and it could be corrected.
