GRAPH for seimens

hi,

is it possible to convert graph charts into LAD, and what extacly is the diffresmce between GRAPH language and CFC (continous functional charts)

thanks

If you try opening an S7-GRAPH program on a PC where GRAPH has not been installed, you'll see the program presented in STL. When you see the complexity of this, you'll realise why I think (I admit I don't know for sure) the chances of being able to convert the program to ladder are minute to non-existant.

Apart from that, I can't see why anybody would want to do this anyway. The program is so much easier to follow in GRAPH.

this is true, graph is easier to follow, however our non-up to date workers are get scared when they see a new language, however complicating the graph to LAD will only confuse them more, thanks for the info, do u know any the diffrence bettween graph,CFC, thanks

I'm not sure of the exact details. GRAPH is effectively a Sequential Function Chart (SFC) Program. As I understand it CFC stands for Continuos Funtion Chart and I believe it's a part of the PCS7 package. Functionally it's rather like FBD.
