Allen Bradley PLCs dominate the North American region. However, Siemens prevails in manufacturing automation in a much larger European market.

is this licenses of TIA Portal is time limited or it is open

#3

The license that comes with this kit is completely open. The way it works is that when you buy an S7-1200 kit, you get a basic license that only works with S7-1200 family of PLCs. If you buy the S7-1500 kit, you get the full TIA Portal license that works with the S7-1200 and the S7-1500 PLCs.

I really wanna start with Siemens S7-1500 where can I get the cheapest one with 365 days V16 license + HMI.

Hi Seabe,

The best prices will come from your local distributor. You’ll have to search through the Siemens website to find a contact and get them to issue a quote.

Another source of hardware that Siemens recommended is https://www.alliedelec.com/ Go to their website and search for a starter kit.

Note that the license for TIA Portal does not expire with these kits. You can use it in perpetuity.

All the best,
Vlad
