Hi everyone,
I am looking for a Siemens PLC for a high speed application(not a HSC) requiring precision in milliseconds or even better. It uses 6 inputs and 5 outputs. For a similar application, I have used the S7-200s (CPU 222 and then CPU 224XP). The scan time came to 3-5ms. My questions:

- I know it depends on the program but if I use a S7-300, will I see a significant difference in scan time? Say, get 1-2ms?
- S7-200s costs around $495, how much would be the approx cost of S7-300?
- What is the difference between the S7-300 and 400 series? Is it just the processing speed?
- I know the programming software is totally different, how is the compatability between MicroWin and Simatic Manager?
