Hi everyone.

I have a very complex Step5 programm in AWL Structured Programming.
I wonder if there's a way to export to S7Micro Win or Step7, I suppose it's almost impossible but I just want to know what you think.

And to rewrite the program (not exporting), how do I represent all the structured block programming of Step5 ( Function Blocks, Data Blocks, Organisation Blocks) in AWL Step7 ? (Micto Win or S7), because in the original program there are lost of jumps between these blocks.
 
A S7-200. But its kind of a Back up only, I mean, It won't be a real hardware change until necesary, but not now. The back up can be made in any siemens PLC?
 
If it's S7-200, you'll be rewriting most of it.
If it's any of the S7-300/S7-400, there's a tool that comes with Simatic Manager that converts the .S5D file to a .AWL file which can be used in Simatic Manager as a source file. Which will automatically generate most of the code and give a rather detailed error/warning list.

We've done several larger machines using this tool and it works quite nicely. Cuts down development time tremendously.
