As part of a SCADA upgrade I have inherited a pair of S7-400H processors and some remote I/O. I have a backup of the Step 7 file and I know the system runs on version 5.2. there are no plans to upgrade this version.
I have a Step 7 basic Licence for 5.2 but this won’t let me access the redundant system. I also can get a 5.4 professional license if I need too.
So my question is, a) can I get an upgrade for the 5.2 licence? or b) would the 5.4 licence be compatible with a 5.2 system and does the professional version include redundancy.
I know I should engage with the Siemens vendor in the UK and I will when I’m ready.
Also if there are any freelance Siemens guys or girls local to the S.E. UK feel free to PM me as I may sub-out this part of the job.
