Hi James. Multi user and Software Units are both for projects with more than one engineer/programmer, so they seem similar but: - Multi User is for sharing the same project data/software that is placed on a server - Software Units are for sharing the same hardware
In my opinion Siemens has taken the main idea from AB and their software Studio5000. There you can create many different Tasks (someting like main programm), and different people can create with this task independent from each other, but Siemens improved this idea.
@@hegamurl7434 I know, for example in Studio5000 it was impossible to split windows, you could watch only one window, with v31. now it's possible. Could you answer, what do you preffered classik (Step7, WinCC) or Tia?
I definitely prefer TIA portal over SIMATIC Manager... it is just so much simpler and more effective to use! And all tools are embedded into one, which makes the data sharing and communication in between 1000000x easier to implement and keep standards
Kind of but not exactly. With seperate control loops you would have two completely independently running programs (Side by Side). The PLC can not run two things in parallel. In the case of using multiple "Main" functions (as I did in both software units), they are executed AFTER each other.
I really wish I had known about this before the project I just finished. It would have helped a lot. This makes it more like the separated routines that Rockwell uses. Siemens is finally catching up with Rockwell.
Thanks... It is a perfect topic// you choosing things no one's talked about
Which it is a big advantage...
Best automation tutorials in the RUclips. Thank you so much !
Can system constants be accessed with software units? if not, what is the workaround for that? Thank you for your amazing videos.
That's a great example of how that can be useful. THANK YOU
hello there maestro. you always give me the best tutorial ever. THE BEST
Cool feature. Thanks for the heads up.
Looking forward to your next video
Thanks. Is it same as TIA portal multi user? Which version TIA do you use?

Hi James please go through this vidoe.It will guide you better whats multiuser is. It's made by Siemens. ruclips.net/video/EoRQcEvmt7o/видео.html
Good contents as always . i suppose those two PCs should be at least connected in one PN? Thank you very much.
Can you help me with a question I have: How is it possible to reach the Safety parts of the PLC system from a Software Unit?
Thank You ! Very useful for learning !!!
I was expecting that from you...SuperLike
SuperLike sounds cool!

That could be! I have not worked with AB yet, but I am pretty sure SIEMENS and AB try to learn/copy a lot from each other

@@hegamurl7434 but Tia is not optimized, Step with WinCC is much easier then Tia... I noticed that every new Tia need a new PC(((
How can 2 users be connected to one Plc at the same time? Is a WLAN connection possible? Thanks for this video!
So these software units can be considered as separate control loops ??
Kind of but not exactly.

Very nice feature.....thanks for video

nice very good
your episodes are awesome
thx!
With love form Russia)
BIG LIKE.
Hi Boss my STEP7 and Wincc Licenses Key are expired and I can't fixed it so I will be very thankful if you help me to resolve this probleme thnx
Software units made easy by plc sensei...but uhh yh if your firmware can't be updated past 2.5 it means you hv to buy a new PLC?🙁
Don't buy a PLC for it... it is not the most neccessary feature 😅 Unfortunately it is unavailable for it, but that is okay
@@hegamurl7434 ok got it..video request..please do a hmi faceplate for the beginner example..the conveyor belt control
@@hegamurl7434 what if the firmware version is not in the catalogue do I find the gsd file and add it?
I see there's one dislike. Wonder why would he do.
