Hello,
I have a one off job to modify some Siemens Step5 software at a local factory. The PLCs are S5-100U (CPU103).
I have uploaded the PLC code from the CPUs which I will modify but I know I will eventually need to blow the EPROMs and for that I will need to get a prommer device.
Before I go ahead and source a prommer (6ES5 695-0AA11) I have a concern that I will have difficulty using the prommer device with my modern day laptop (Windows 10) running virtualbox machine (Windows XP) running Step5 (V7.23). Does anyone have experience of using a Siemens prommer (6ES5 695-0AA11) in a virtual environment? Are there any known issues with obtaining drivers or connecting to the hardware when the programming laptop is not a Siemens PG?
Best Regards
Michael
