Best Siemens S5 Programming Software for Windows 10 or 11

Question:

Hello everyone, I am in search of Siemens software that is compatible with uploading and downloading programs to an S5. Ideally, I am looking for a version that can run on Windows 10 or 11 to avoid the need for a virtual machine. I understand that my options may be limited, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. - Rob T.

Compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11, this software offers a user-friendly alternative to Siemens STEP5 software at a significantly lower cost. You can find more information and purchase the software at ibhsoftec.com. To go online, you will also need a TTY cable, which can be found here: ibhsoftec.com.

Thank you for the recommendation. I will definitely look into it. - Rob.

Hi Rob T, your best bet might be to check out the Siemens STEP 7 software, specifically STEP 7-Micro/WIN V4.0 which is used for programming the S7-200 PLCs. However, take note that this software may not be directly compatible with newer Windows versions. Running it on Windows 10 or 11 might require some workarounds or running it in compatibility mode. Conversely, you could still consider using a virtual machine or sourcing an older PC specifically for programming tasks. Good luck!
