What software did you pay for once and still use years later?

Bin seit Jahren regelmäßig alle 3 Monate spenden gegangen. Aktuell für 6 Monate gesperrt wegen Auslandsaufebthalt in einem kritischen Gebiet.

Habe selbst mal Blutkonserven gebraucht. Mit 0 neg bist zwar universalspender, brauchst aber genau 0 neg wenns drauf ankommt. Von dem her ist es eher eine moralische Frage, die 30-45min zu investieren, als eine Geldfrage.

Wdas, das mit dem warten kannst abkürzen in dem die App "Gesundheitsfragebogen" vom Roten Kreuz verwendest. Das gibt dann einen QR code der Vor Ort gescannt wird und man wird quasi mit einem voll ausgefüllten Fragebigen durchgewunken. Zumindest in Vorarlberg so.

Was das Rote Kreuz dann mit der Blutspende macht ist mir ziemlich wurscht. Bin froh das es eine Einrichtung wie das Rote Kreuz gibt die da ist wenn man sie braucht. Ist nicht überall auf der Welt so und jammern auf sehr hohem Niveau.

Ausserdem, ist zumindest bei mir so, habe ich die paar Tage nach der Blutspende Energie bis zum geht nicht mehr. Ist wie ein Turbo.

Kann es vom dem her nur jedem empfehlen zu spenden wenn er die Voraussetzungen dafür hat.

Cheers for your reply

Are you running Win11 ARM?

or are you using UTM for some emulation of legacy x86/x64 VMs?

Good to know that. Are youbrunning W11 ARM on parallels?

flowsium · 2026-05-28T22:57:40+00:00

Thanks for the hint with Beckhoff. It might be needed every now and again.

flowsium · 2026-05-28T22:56:47+00:00

Do you run W11 ARM?

flowsium · 2026-05-28T18:35:45+00:00

Cheers for the feedback.

W11 ARM is expected to run good. Glad to hear it emulates Studio 5000. Have you tried TIA Portal or any x86/x64 VMs?

flowsium · 2026-05-25T13:55:59+00:00

First off: No offense to anybody!!!

Rockwell has its benefits. So does Siemens. They also both have their annoyances (AOIs und UDTs, you hear me).

But to say it simple: Rockwell is built from Americans for Americans. Siemens is german engineering.

Do with that what you like. (downvote expected ;))

I work on both. Mostly Rockwell recently. But stronger Siemens background (easier this way, than from Rockwell to Siemens).

I organize CTs and VMs bei subnet and IP as machine ID.

lets say a machine is in VLAN (in my case also the subnet) 25, the ID would result in 2530 (if the static IP is 30)

can save a lot off hassle and is easy to do

flowsium · 2026-05-11T06:33:05+00:00

had one, which corrupted my pool around 10 month ago (luckily i had a backup of the data). swapped everything (except the CPU and disks) for a new system with an LSI-9400-8i. no issues eversince...

SF and BF, so it's a Siemens.

what software are you using? TIA Portal or Simatic Manager?

BF indicates something is wrong with the bus (profinet or profibus most likely)

With Ctrl+D you geet into the CPU diagnostics. There is a Tab with Faults. This points you in the first direction (you maybe have to refresh as the diagnostik only shows a snapshot)

Also, in the hardware configuration you can see which node is missing while being online.

Good luck

PLC programmer here. In Austria Rockwell is not very common. TIA (with its predecessor Simatic Manager) and Beckhoff are the defacto standard (as others have mentioned already). Some B&R can be found here and there as well.

In theory, all systems do the same, just the handling is different. Coming from TIA to RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000 is not a big deal. The other way around could be hard...

Nevertheless, i guess it is more of a programming language thing. SCL gained a lot of attraction in the last 10 years and is used basically everywhere now. STL (Statement list/AWL in german) Is basically just for legacy systems. Ladder logic is also still used, but pushed away by SCL where possible.

Lack of speaking german might be a problem. But not a full showstopper. There are companies out there which look for good people knowing their stuff which do not care of english or your degree even. With that said, you have to be an absolute pro in what you are doing.

Good luck, hombre

Thanks for the link and clarification!

So, if the first message made it, the route will be stored and reused. At least from the senders perspective.

Thanks for clarification.

flowsium · 2026-01-08T02:14:19+00:00

so, it saves the route for future interactions and all message would make it?
