You should not print abrasive filaments such as fiber inforced materials with a brass nozzle. Therefore the CC 0.6 print core with the ruby nozzle is needed for carbon fiber inforced filaments.
-
Increasing travel speed above 150mm/s is not recommended on the Ultimaker S-Line printers as the risk of an accidental horizontal shift increases. Higher jerk settings only result in more ringing but not problematic as long as they stay on a reasonable level; the engineering intent profiles might give you an indication what an upper limit might be.

The material selection on the Pro Bundle works exactly the same as on a stand-alone S5 with one exception: the material profile must be compatible with the material station.
As you already figured out, Ultimaker material profiles are of course all compatible with the Material Station. In addition, some Ultimaker partner materials are also already compatible with the Material Station; it's up to the individual manufacturers/brands to make their filaments compatible or not. You can find out if they are or not at marketplace.ultimaker.com.
For other third party materials, or such that are in the marketplace but not yet compatible, you can use one of the generic filament types; those also work with the Material Station. But please keep in mind that using generic types can (but doesn't have to) lead to issues at loading or unloading of the material.

Well, of course I don't know the volume percentage of the impact modifier but what can be googled it seems fractions up to 30% are possible. Depending on how different the radiation length of that modifier is from PLA it can differ significantly.
What I probably would do is to print samples and make a test series with a stable radiation source. Especially I would compare the Tough PLA to Standard PLA of the same color and also to transparent PLA. You might also take other materials into consideration for such a test.

Das Problem hier dürfte eine nicht eindeutige Erkennung bei Fach C sein. Offensichtlich sieht der NFC-Leser von Fach D auch die Spule von Fach C (sieht man daran, dass eine volle Spule erkannt wird).
Ich habe mir angewöhnt, alle 750g Spulen möglichst am linken Rand des Fachs einzulegen; das minimiert das Risiko, dass eine Spule des Fachs links davon ebenfalls gesehen wird.

I guess you have access to the data of standard PLA. The impact modifier is probably a trade secret.
What particles do you use? In case you need a neutron absorber, you might want to have a look at AddBor N25 from Addnorth.
If you want to use TPLA as some kind of beam dump you also might want to keep an eye on the deposited energy as PLA has a pretty low heat deflection temperature.

Yes. Use a helper volume and assign the other extruder to that helper volume.

Another note in regards to material station, it only works with a small group of materials. It will not work on materials I use a lot of like PAHT CF15. If my machine could switch to another spool without the material station, I could run larger prints with such materials much easier.
It might be a question of time until that material (the BASF I assume?) is compatible with the Pro Bundle. Various brands are currently updating their profiles for making them compatible with the Material Station.

A not properly recognized or oriented NFC tag (e.g. very early Ultimaker NFC spools had the tag on the "wrong" side) can block the whole NFC recognition of the Material Station with the current firmware. Please make sure this is not the case.

this logical stuff can be solved by the user, for example with an option in Cura "Automatically swap material".
Options have the tendency to be forgotten to be disabled again by the user. We see that with the post-processing scripts in Cura which are sticky. It would have to be a setting with default setting disabled.

If switching off the WiFi in the network menu is not enough please get in contact with your resellers as customers are not supposed to open the electronics on the bottom of the S5 (where the WiFi module sits).
-
Please also try a Cura Connect reset. If you reboot, leave the printer off for a few minutes.
If all fails, a firmware recovery might help:
Be aware that you loose all calibration data with a recovery.

@Projects: Please keep in mind that the procedures @IRobertI and I suggested are work-arounds, not solutions.
Ultimaker launched the Material Station with clearly people in mind that want an automatic spool swap when one is empty and maximum productivity in general. So if you have that need you might want to consider the Material Station.
Also, there are some logical challenges with an extruder swap solution. Imagine you don't use a material that is separated by color, e.g. generic PLA. You have generic PLA in both extruders, but in fact they don't have the same color. What should the printer do when spool 1 is empty? Swaping to extruder 2 could make sense but also could be the wrong thing to do. With the Material station that challenge does not come up as the printer would never switch from a generic PLA in insert 1 to a generic PLA in insert 2.

Or you use the two yellow removal tools that come with the Air Manager. 😉

If not done already, check if the Bowden tube is mounted the correct way round.
-
Can you push the filament so far into the Bowden tube that you see about 5cm of it? I always load it that way, then you don't have to wait funtil it comes out of the print core.

The camera is not implemented in the cloud connection yet. You can access the camera through the Ultimaker App.
Personally, I would rate security higher than getting a camera image everywhere.
However, this post will give you the information you are looking for:
-
Instead of opening ports (also to possible intruders) you might want to use the Ultimaker cloud. Atm the camera image is not yet available but afaik it's very high up in the list of coming cloud features.

You could also try calculating when the spool will run out and add a pause at that point so that you can swap the spools manually and keep going.
Or you could go even one step further and use a helper volume for the upper part and assign extruder 2 for that volume. It would then automatically switch to the second extruder at the height the helper volume starts.
-
If you have not done yet, please follow @Smithy's advise and contact your reseller. This behavior of your printer is far from normal.

Are those things not explained in the manual?
Not in the quick start manual that comes in various languages and is included as paper copy in the package. But it is explained in the standard manual: https://ultimaker.com/download/75369/ultimaker-s5-material-station-user-manual-en.pdf

There is a drying unit based on dessiccant that is regenerated regularly inside the Material Station. You do only see the exhaust on the back and a small opening inside filament compartment.
Best thing you probably can do is to put a small hygrometer inside the compartment. You should see humidity drop within minutes (unless your enviroment is already very dry).
-
Try removing the PVA. As you have a AA 0.4 print core in slot 2, you get the incompatibility message. That message might block the NFC recognition. It's worth a try. If you reuse the NFC tag from the empty spool, use it in a different bay than the one that spool was emptied.

Generic CPE should not be that different. Important thing is that temperatures are about right; the fine tuning can be done in Cura.
