  1. license... step 7 basic...

    Siemens Industry mall shows this has a list price of $450.00 USD, I can't help with a Denmark location, sorry.
  2. license... step 7 basic...

    The current version is V18, this license will activate versions back to V11.
  3. license... step 7 basic...

    You're only able to upload a project backup that can be downloaded to a replacement panel. If you wish to make modifications you'll need the original project file.  
  5. Siemens TIA Portal 16 Graph Language

    Do you have Tia Portal 'Basic' or 'Professional'? Graph is not available in 'Basic'.
  6. S5 GREEN RUN. NO RED, BUT NO GO

    The IBH S5-S7 for windows software works well for this, I have it in a Win7 VM using a USB converter for the S5 interface. It sounds like the processor battery died and the program is gone.
  7. Connecting to this controller

    That part number is for an Interface Module, it should connect to the CCU which contains the PLC component. It is likely the PCU cannot communicate with the CCU. You would need to connect directly to the CCU.  
  8. Laptops used

    I run a Lenovo P53 with a Core i7-9850H @2.60Ghz with 64 GB of RAM and two 1T SSD, I can run 2-3 VMs simultaneously without issue.
  9. How can I do a simple sequence step delay

    You don't mention your CPU, I've encountered this with a 315 CPU, the newer 1500 works in the fashion of your first example.  For the older CPU I'll use an S5 timer to create a dwell in the same network.  I don't necessarily like using the S5 timers, but sometimes its just easier providing I'm not setting a timer preset from an HMI.
  10. Ignition - any review?

    I've been setting up a small system to read gas flow on 9 of our furnaces, including log,report,trending. Its fairly easy to configure, and their support agents are quite helpful and quick to respond. I've gained a lot of knowledge from the forum they host also. Unfortunately my IT deptartment restricts the video host for their Inductive University, otherwise I would have made use of that. Rich
  11. Tapping holes

    I use two flute 'gun' taps in the cordless drill with a pilot hole just oversize from standard without trouble, the taps only break when they start to wear.
  12. I just tried it with no problems, prompted to save filename antitiedown.zip. Sounds like there is not a problem on this end.
  13. Transistor or Relay outputs?

    I used to use mainly relay outputs for everything with an interposing relay for larger loads, now I'm leaning toward transistor outputs and interposing relays for general use and the transistor outputs by themselves only for fast switching needs. I should mention that most of my output loads are 120VAC.
  14. Way Off The Wall

    How about a seperate switch for the ignition? If you get the engine spinning first and then throw the fire to it that should help a bit on the voltage drop.
  15. Way Off The Wall

    There is a "sparkplug" version that combines the two, but that is rather pricey at about $300. A better option is to drill the heads for dual plugs and use the second plug hole (usually a 10mm hole) for the release. A better option being under $100.
