Two control panels in the build at the moment. One uses the Siemens S7-1200 and two Siemens Micromaster inverter Drives controlled via USS protocol. The second is a new development rig, similar to the S7-200 rig which many of you accessed here but with the Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200. It will be internet connected as soon as it is finished. I've managed to migrate my drawings from Corel Draw!, which I have used successfully for many years. to a FOSS package called Inkscape. Corel Draw! was running very slowly under Windows 7 and although it ran OK in WINE I wanted to make the transition. The drawings are neat and the interface is slick, (I especially love the import from .pdf which means I can create components from manufacturers' documentation). Now if only STEP7 would run under LINUX :)
