dear list(eners)
i would like to know your opinions about the software used to program Omron PLC's. I grew up using LSS first and SSS then and liked all of them both, because of their simple interface. Then i was forced to switch to Syswin because of crashes and freezes experimented with both LSS and SSS under Windows98, but i am not so much confortable, especially with the monitoring function and the apparent lack of a fast mode for forcing/unforcing flags. Recently i happened to test the CX Programmed, that has been touted (at least on Omron USA site) as the definitive programming environment: but i still remember that not so long ago, Omron USA trashed their CPT in favor of the European-made Syswin. CX amazed me with its completeness and it complies better than Syswin with IEC1131 standards (by the way i use also the S7-200 with MicroWin 3.02 and the similarities with CX are remarkable). May someone can tell me which among CX, Syswin and CPT is a reasonable choice for the future? I am deeply concerned because it seems that there is again a race between Omron USA and Omron Europe: they cannot agree on one standard software and follows it?
