> Are there any other software packages for Siemens S5 plc's other than Siemens' own. And if so, are there any free downloads possible! FasTrak SoftWorks does have PLC programming for Siemens S5 controllers. We have DOS and Windows versions which support all of the S5 family or a less expensive version which supports the 90U, 95U, and the 100s. Download a free demo at www.fast-soft.com. You can contact me at 1-414-358-8088 or [email protected] for more information. Thanks. Joe Joseph Luft FasTrak SoftWorks,Inc.
