Yes, if the download problem has been solved would be interesting to know.
Besides, I notice that it original program is a ControlLogix, and the new CPU is an S7 314. The 314 has got a significant performance boost in the latest generation, but it is still going from a potent to a less potent CPU (and far less expensive too !).
And the worry about 250 bytes being a lot or not, I mean 250 bytes is nothing !
And, with 100 sensors in the plant, it is not such a small project. At least you could have chosen a PN CPU, like the 315-2PN/DP.
