As Franck said, ITER has standardized on the  S7 (300) series and the
Step 7 Professional Edition software (Windows).  We are using the ITER
configuration here with an S7-3xx and an EPICS Linux-based IOC.  We
also recently got an S7-1200 which we are  trying to get working with
the ITER software .... not there yet.  We will announce any success on
this.
