Each account value is purchase ROAS multiplied by cost per purchase in USD. Successful classifications, including manual corrections, with positive finite spend, purchases, ROAS and cost per purchase. Accounts are counted once with equal weight. Quartiles use linear interpolation. Root cohorts include direct root classifications and their child categories; exact-child cohorts exclude parent and sibling categories. The source selects the highest-spend coverage row per account among snapshots dated within the preceding 30 days; the underlying reporting period is not supplied. This is a dated aggregate advertising-data snapshot, not business-wide AOV or a census.

Siemens' May 2026 S7-1200 G2 migration guideline requires G2 hardware and TIA Portal V20 or later. Ask which controller and engineering version the enquiry concerns. An upgrade request without those details does not establish a compatible migration scope.

Siemens' May 2026 G2 guideline requires manual checks after its migration tool runs and lists limitations involving hardware properties, HMI connections and motion control. Separate program transfer from commissioning in the offer; tool completion alone does not establish a working installation.

Siemens' May 2026 guideline says used onboard analogue inputs and outputs on the original S7-1200 need replacement by a signal board for G2. Identify the existing I/O before quoting. A controller-only offer may omit hardware needed by this migration.

Siemens' May 2026 guideline says its G2 migration add-in does not migrate the PROFINET interface; target IP and subnet settings need adjustment. Qualify network configuration in the delivery scope. A transferred program is not evidence that the replacement controller is connected.
