S7 ver 5.2

Hi,

I have installed S7 ver 5.2 with SP1 on my home computer running XP home edition.

So far I have had no problems, this does not mean I will not have problems with it though!!

Hi Moggie,

Have you tried to connect your PC to a PLC?. This is where I had the problems.

Thanks

I have Step 7 v5.2 and Windows XP Home on my laptop. I've had no problems with connecting using the CP5511 or using my ethernet card via Softnet.
