Introduction
Until now you were familiar with the name SIMATIC as the synonym for
SIEMENS programmable controllers of the S5 family. Now the name
SIMATIC stands for fully integrated automation.
The concept fully integrated automation describes a revolutionary new way
of combining the worlds of manufacturing and process engineering. All
hardware and software components are integrated into one single system:
SIMATIC.
This complete integration is made possible by the universal compatibility
offered by the S7 system in the following three areas:
• Database
Data are only entered once and are then available to a whole factory.
Transfer errors and inconsistencies are therefore a thing of the past.
• Configuring and programming
All the components and systems belonging to a task are planned,
configured, programmed, commissioned, debugged, and monitored with
one single fully integrated software package with a modular design - under
one user interface and with the most suitable utility.
• Communication
“Who communicates with whom” is determined simply in a connection
table and can be changed at any time. The various network types can be
configured easily and uniformly.
To be able to meet the wide range of possibilities of SIMATIC as a fully
integrated system, brand new concepts have been shaped in SIMATIC S7.
Some functions are therefore achieved in other ways to those you are familiar
with in S5.
The STEP 7 programming software is based on new technology and concepts.
For example, the user interface is designed to meet modern ergonomic
requirements and runs under Windows 95/NT. In our programming languages,
we have endeavored to adhere to the IEC 1131 standard as closely as possible
without becoming incompatible with STEP 5.
From S5 to S7, Converter Manual
A5E00171227-01
1-1
We are convinced that our new STEP 7 system meets the following demands:
• A software basis for fully integrated automation
• Programming which conforms to IEC 1131
• Compatibility with STEP 5
We are also aware that converting from an existing system to a new system
gives rise to a number of questions and we recognize that it will be necessary
to make certain adaptations, particularly with regard to the software.
This manual is intended to provide answers to these questions and, at the same
time, show you simple ways in which you can continue to use your existing
STEP 5 programs in SIMATIC S7.

Hardware
This chapter describes the hardware that can be used for S7 and makes
comparisons, when necessary, with the hardware used for S5, in order to
facilitate the transition from S5 to S7.
Converting
Hardware from S5
to S7 using the
Siemens Catalog
on CD-ROM
The Siemens CD-ROM “Components for Automation” / catalog CA01 (from
4/97) contains an application designed to aid you in choosing hardware when
converting from S5 to S7. To access the catalog of products, select the menu
command Auswahlhilfen > Simatic. Here you can enter any S5 system
desired; the application uses this system data to create a rack configuration and
a signal list. You can then convert this S5 configuration to an S7 configuration.

Programmable Logic Controllers
SIMATIC S7 consists of the following three types of programmable logic
controllers classified according to their performance range:
SIMATIC S7-200
SIMATIC S7-200 is a compact micro programmable logic controller (PLC)
designed for applications having the lowest performance range. S7-200 is
controlled by its own system-specific software package which is not included
in the following comparison of S5 and S7.
SIMATIC S7-300
SIMATIC S7-300 is a modular mini controller designed for applications
having a low performance range.
SIMATIC S7-400
SIMATIC S7-400 is designed for applications providing an intermediate to
high performance range.
For easy reference, S7-300 module names always start with a “3” and S7-400
module names with a “4”.

Programming device interface MPI (Multipoint Interface) for
programming devices and operator panels
The programming device interface AS511 used in SIMATIC S5 has been
replaced by the multipoint interface, MPI (for S7-300 and S7-400). This
multipoint interface provides a direct electrical connection for HMI devices
(HMI: Human Machine Interface, previously known as COROS) and for
programming devices to the programming device interface used by SIMATIC
S7. The interfaces are completely integrated.
The following table provides a direct comparison of these two interface
specifications:

Up to 31 devices can be connected
Bus interface for Operator Panels (OP)
Programmable logic controllers in the SIMATIC S5 and SIMATIC S7
automation families can be connected using the PROFIBUS (previously
known as SINEC L2) bus system. As before, these connections are
bus-specific.

S7 Modules
No Fundamental
Differences from
S5
The range of modules used in S7 corresponds to and expands on the known
and proven module concept used in SIMATIC S5.
S7 contains the following types of modules:
• Central processing units (CPU)
• Power supply modules (PS)
• Interface modules (IM)
• Communications processors (CP); (such as for connecting to PROFIBUS)
• Function modules (FM); (such as for counting, positioning, closed-loop
control)
• Digital and analog modules are now called “signal modules” (SM)
This chapter describes the similarities and differences in the range of modules
used in SIMATIC S5 and SIMATIC S7.
New Performance
Characteristics
S7 modules can be distinguished by the following features:
• The new modules are not equipped with jumpers or switches.
• The new modules do not require cooling fans. As in S5, they have the IP 20
protection class.
• The new modules can be assigned parameters and have diagnostic
capability.
• The S7 slot assignment is more flexible than for S5.
• Expansion devices and ET 200 distributed I/O devices can trigger
interrupts.

Retentive Features
of S7-400
The CPUs for SIMATIC S7-400 require a backup battery to buffer timers,
counters, and bit memory.
Retentive Features
of S7-300 without
Backup Battery
The CPUs for S7-300 do not require a battery to buffer timers, counters, or bit
memory. Similarly, the contents of data blocks can also be retained in the event
of a power failure. The CPUs for SIMATIC S7-300 have a maintenance-free
backup that saves those addresses and data which have parameters specifying
that they be retained in event of a power failure.
The size and quantity of the available retentive areas depend on the respective
CPU.
Parameter
Assignment for the
Retentive Feature
The size of the data retention areas is set in parameter assignment dialog boxes
during hardware configuration with STEP 7.

Communications Processors (CP)
The following section lists the S5 and S7 communications processors that can
be used in various subnets. In addition, the services supported by these
processors are also indicated.
Subnets in
SIMATIC
In order to meet the varying requirements of different automation levels (such
as on the processing, cell, field, and actuator-sensor levels), SIMATIC provides
the following subnets:
• AS Interface
The actuator-sensor interface (AS-i) is a connection system for the lowest
processing level in automation systems. It is primarily used for networking
binary sensors and actuators. Its data quantity is limited to a maximum of
4 bits per slave.
• MPI
The multipoint interface (MPI) subnet is intended for short-range field and
cell levels. The MPI is a multipoint interface used in SIMATIC S7/M7 and
C7. It is designed as a programming device interface and is intended for
networking a small number of CPUs and for exchanging small quantities
(up to 70 bytes) of data.
• PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS is the network used for the cell and field areas in open,
manufacturer-independent, SIMATIC communication systems. PROFIBUS
is suitable for quick transmission of moderate quantities of data (approx.
200 bytes).
• Industrial Ethernet
Industrial Ethernet is the network used for the processing and cell levels in
open, manufacturer-independent, SIMATIC communication systems.
Industrial Ethernet is suitable for quick transmission of large quantities of
data.
• Point-To-Point Connection
A point-to-point connection is not a subnet in the traditional sense. This
connection is established in SIMATIC by using point-to-point
communications processors (CP) to connect two communication partners
(such as PLCs, scanners, PCs) with each other.

Signal Modules (SM)
The signal modules in SIMATIC S7 are comparable in function to the
input/output modules in S5. However, in addition to simple signal modules, S7
also provides modules that can be assigned parameters and which have
diagnostic capability.
Signal Modules
which can be
Assigned
Parameters
Digital input modules in S7 that can be assigned parameters allow you to
specify (with the STEP 7 application for configuring hardware) which
channels are to trigger a hardware interrupt on edge change.
Signal Modules
with Diagnostic
Capability
Modules with diagnostic capability can detect both external errors such as wire
breaks or external short circuits and internal ones such as RAM errors or short
circuits within modules.
The input ranges of analog input modules can be easily assigned parameters
with STEP 7.
A diagnostic event is processed by the controller in the following two ways:
• By triggering a diagnostic interrupt. This notifies the appropriate
organization block (OB) in the user program, which then interrupts the
cyclic program.
• By making an entry in the diagnostic buffer of the CPU, which can then be
read with a programming device or operator interface device.
The following tables list the signal modules available in S7:

The following is a summary of the communication services used in SIMATIC:
S7 Functions
The S7 functions provide services for communicating between S7/M7 CPUs,
S7 OP/OSs and PCs. These S7 functions are already integrated in each
SIMATIC S7/M7 device. Since these S7 functions correspond to a service in
the ISO application layer, they are independent of any one subnet and can thus
be used on all subnets (MPI, PROFIBUS, Industrial Ethernet).
ISO Transport
These functions are used for secure data transfer from SIMATIC S7 to
SIMATIC S5.
They are used to transfer moderate amounts of data (up to 240 bytes) via open
communication at ISO transport layer 4 based on the ISO reference model for
Industrial Ethernet.
ISO on TCP
These functions are used for secure data transfer from SIMATIC S7 to
SIMATIC S5.
They are used to transfer moderate amounts of data (up to 240 bytes) via open
communication according to the TCP/IP protocol at ISO transport layer 4
based on the ISO reference model for Industrial Ethernet.
The ISO-on-TCP service requires the extended RFC1006 standard.
FDL (SDA)
These functions are used for secure data transfer from SIMATIC S7 to
SIMATIC S5.
They are used to transfer moderate amounts of data (up to 240 bytes) via open
communication at Fieldbus Data Link (FDL) layer 2 based on the ISO
reference model for Industrial Ethernet.

Hardware
FMS
PROFIBUS FMS (Fieldbus Message Specification) provides services for
transferring structured data (FMS variables) over static FMS connections.
The FMS service can be classified at layer 7 of the ISO reference model. It
corresponds to the European standard EN 50170 Vol. 2 PROFIBUS and
provides services for transferring structured data (variables).
DP
PROFIBUS DP services allow transparent communication with distributed I/O
devices. These distributed I/O devices are addressed by the control program in
exactly the same manner as centralized I/O devices.
GD
Global Data Communication is a simple communication option integrated in
the operating system of S7-300/400 CPUs.
GD communication permits cyclic exchange of data between CPUs via the
multipoint interface; for S7-400, it also allows event-driven data exchange.

Interface to User Programs
The communication interface to a user program consists of the following
blocks:
• SFCs (without connection configuration)
• SFBs (with connection configuration) (only S7-400)
• Loadable FCs / FBs
These blocks replace the S5 handling blocks. The functionality here is similar,
but it is now accomplished using STEP 7 languages. To establish
communication, you will have to adapt an appropriate S5 program with
handling functions to the new blocks.

Operator Control and Monitoring
Introduction
The following section provides an overview of the extent to which SIMATIC
HMI (HMI: Human Machine Interface, previously COROS) operator panels
can be used in SIMATIC S7.
Operator Panels
The SIMATIC HMI operator panel provides operator control and monitoring
functions for SIMATIC S5, SIMATIC S7, and SIMATIC TI, as well as for
other controllers.
STEP 5
In general, a standard function block, which is called depending on the
operator panel connected, is required in the programmable controller for
connecting SIMATIC OP to SIMATIC S5.
The following operator panels (OP) can be used with S5:
– TD17, OP5/A1, OP7/PP, OP7/DP-12, OP15/x1, OP17/PP,
OP17/DP-12
– OP25, OP35, OP37, TP37
STEP 7
When connecting SIMATIC OP to SIMATIC S7/M7, a distinction must be
made between PPI, MPI, and PROFIBUS as MPI nodes.
PPI or MPI connections run via the programming device interface in the CPU.
In doing so, SIMATIC OP uses the communication services of SIMATIC
S7/M7 (S7 functions); this means that a standard function block is not
required.
The PROFIBUS connection from SIMATIC OP to SIMATIC S7/M7 also
involves communication accomplished using S7 functions. Again, this means
that a standard function block is not required. (SIMATIC OPs are “active
nodes” and not PROFIBUS-DP slaves as is the case for the PROFIBUS
connection to SIMATIC S5.) The same number of nodes that applies to an MPI
connection also applies here.
The following operator panels (OP) can be used with S7:
– TD17, OP3, OP5/A2, OP7/DP, OP7/DP-12, OP15/x2, OP17/DP,
OP17/DP-12
– OP25, OP35, OP37, TP37
The following restrictions apply to SIMATIC OPs:
– OP3: up to 2 connections
– OP5/15/25: up to 4 connections
– TD17, OP7/17: up to 4 connections
– OP35: up to 6 connections
– OP37, TP37: up to 8 connections

Configuration
SIMATIC ProTool and SIMATIC ProTool/Lite are modern tools for
configuring operator panels. SIMATIC ProTool can be used to configure all
devices, while SIMATIC ProTool/Lite can only be used to configure
line-oriented operator panels. Functionally, ProTool/Lite is a subset of ProTool.
Integration in
SIMATIC STEP 7
ProTool can be integrated in the SIMATIC STEP 7 configuration software; this
enables direct access to configuration data such as symbol tables and
communication parameters used for control configuration. This feature not
only saves time and money; it also prevents errors resulting from redundant
data entry.

WinCC
WinCC can be used for a single or multi-terminal (client-server arrangement)
system.
WinCC is a system for creating solutions to visualization and process control
tasks used in production and process automation; it is compatible with all
business sectors and technologies. It provides function modules suitable for
displaying graphics and messages, archiving information, and record-keeping
in industrial applications. Its powerful and efficient hardware connection,
quick display updating, and secure data archiving provide users with high
flexibility and availability.
In addition to these system functions, WinCC also provides open interfaces for
creating user-specific solutions. These allow WinCC to be integrated in
complex, company-wide automation solutions. Integrated features allowing
access to data archives via standard interfaces such as ODBC and SQL and
integration of objects and documents via OLE2.0 and OLE Custom Controls
(OCX) are also included. These mechanisms make WinCC an effective
communication partner for Windows applications.
WinCC is based on the 32-bit operating systems MS Windows 95 or MS
Windows NT. Both feature preemptive multitasking, which ensures quick
reaction to process events and provides a high level of security against data
loss. Windows NT provides additional security functions and can also serve as
the basis for server operation in a WinCC multi-terminal system. The WinCC
software is itself a 32-bit application which was developed using the most
modern object-oriented software technology.

General Operating Principles
Overview
3.1.1
The software for configuring and programming SIMATIC S7/M7/C7 is
designed according to modern ergonomic concepts and is thus largely
self-explanatory.
Installation Requirements
Operating System
Microsoft Windows 95.
Standard Hardware
Programming device or PC with the following specifications and equipment:
• A 80486 processor (or higher)
• A minimum 16 Mbytes RAM (32 Mbytes recommended)
• A VGA monitor or other type of monitor supported by Windows 95
• A keyboard, and optional but recommended, a mouse supported by
Microsoft Windows 95
Storage Capacity
The following storage space is required on the hard disk:
• The Standard package with one language installed occupies 105 Mbytes on
the hard disk. The exact amount of space required depends on the amount
of standard software installed.
• STEP 7 should also have about 64 Mbytes of total memory available for
storing swap files. For example, if you have 32 Mbytes of RAM, you will
need an additional 32 Mbytes of virtual memory.
• Approx. 50 Mbytes should be available for user data.
• A minimum of 1 Mbyte free memory should be available on the hard disk
for setup. (The setup files are deleted once the installation is complete.)

Installing the STEP 7 Software
Overview
STEP 7 contains a setup program that carries out the installation automatically.
User prompts appearing on the screen guide you step-by-step through the
entire installation procedure.
Authorization
A product-specific user authorization is required to use the STEP 7
programming software. Software protected in this manner can only be used if
the required authorization for the program or software package is located on
the hard disk of the respective programming device or PC.
To obtain this authorization, you need the copy-protected authorization diskette
included in the consignment. This diskette also contains the program
AUTHORS, which is required to display, install, and uninstall STEP 7.
The procedure for transferring and removing this authorization is described in
the User Manual /231/.
Note
Siemens programming devices (such as the PG 740) are supplied with
installable STEP 7 software already on the hard disk.
For further information on installing STEP 7, see the User Manual /231/.

Starting the STEP 7 Software
Starting
After starting Windows 95/NT you will find the icon for the SIMATIC
Manager on the Windows user interface. This is the access point to the STEP 7
software.
Double-clicking the “SIMATIC Manager” icon is the fastest way to start
STEP 7. This icon opens the window for the SIMATIC Manager. From here,
you can access the standard system, all optional software, and all functions that
you have installed.
Alternatively, you can also start the SIMATIC Manager by clicking the “Start”
button in the Windows 95/NT taskbar. The menu title for this is found under
“Simatic/STEP 7.”
SIMATIC Manager
The SIMATIC Manager is the initial window used for configuring and
programming. Here you can do the following:
• Set up projects
• Configure and assign parameters to hardware
• Configure communication connections
• Create programs
• Test programs and start them running
Access to functions is object-oriented, intuitive, and easy to learn.
You can work with the SIMATIC Manager in the following ways:
• Offline (not connected to a controller), or
• Online (connected to a controller)
(When doing this, be sure to observe the appropriate safety guidelines.)

Structure of an S7 Project
Definition
Projects contain all the data and programs for an automation solution. Their
purpose is to provide organized storage of data and programs created for such
an application.
Projects in STEP 5
You will already be familiar with the term “project” from working with
STEP 5. In STEP 5, a project contains all STEP 5 files created for one user
program in a project file.
This project file contains information necessary for convenient editing and
maintenance of a user program, such as parameter settings, as well as catalog
and file names.
Projects in STEP 7
In STEP 7, a project contains all the programs and data necessary for an
automation solution, regardless of the number of CPUs involved and how they
are networked. Thus, a project is not just limited to a user program used for a
particular programmable module; instead, it contains several user programs
used for many programmable modules, which are all stored together under a
common project name.
Note
As in STEP 5, it is also possible in STEP 7 to create a simple user program
intended for only one CPU. In this case, a project is limited to one CPU.
The following section discusses the directory structure that STEP 7 provides
for the user programs and data that you create.

Network
The “Network” object contains the definitive properties for a subnet such as
MPI or PROFIBUS. Assigning a station or a communication module within a
station to a network enables STEP 7 to check communication parameters for
consistency.
Station
A station represents the structure of a programmable controller along with all
the racks belonging to it. If a module with a DP interface is part of a station,
then the entire master system (that is, the DP slaves belonging to it) is also part
of this station.
A station consists of one or more programmable modules, such as a CPU.
Hardware
Hardware is an object containing the configuration data and parameters for a
station. The configuration data and parameters for a station are stored in
system data blocks (SDBs).

Software
Programmable
Modules
In contrast to other modules, programmable modules contain user programs. In
the folders (known as “containers” in STEP 7) found in the programmable
modules you will find all the data belonging to the program for the module.
Examples of such programs are the following:
• Programs in source file form (created with a text editor)
When the source program is compiled, executable blocks are created in the
“Blocks” container.
• Blocks which are loaded into the programmable module
• Symbol tables
Connection Table
The connection table depicts all connections for a programmable module, such
as a CPU, in a station. A connection defines the communication properties
between two nodes and is identified by a connection ID. This connection ID is
all that you need to program event-controlled communication using
standardized communication blocks, which are similar to the handling blocks
found in STEP 5.
Source Files
In S7 programming, source files are the basis for creating blocks. Source files
cannot be downloaded to an S7 CPU.
Blocks
Blocks are distinct parts of a user program and are distinguished by their
function, structure, and use within it. Blocks can be downloaded to S7 CPUs.
In addition to the executable blocks, the “Blocks” container also contains the
variable tables.
Symbol Table

The symbol table shows the assignment of symbolic names, for example, for
inputs, outputs, bit memory, and blocks.

Storing Projects
Overview
To back up a project, you can save a copy of the project under another name or
archive it.
Save As...
To save the project under another name, proceed as follows:
1. Open the project.
2. Select the menu command File Save As. The “Save As” dialog box is
displayed.
3. Select either save with or without a consistency check and close the dialog
box with “OK.” The “Save As” dialog box is displayed.
4. Under “Save In,” select the directory in which the project is to be saved.
5. In the “File Name” field, enter a file name in place of the asterisk (*). Do
not change the file extension.
6. Close the dialog box with “OK.”
Make sure that there is enough memory available on the drive selected. For
example, it is not advisable to select a disk drive to back up a project because a
project is generally too large to fit on a diskette. You must archive projects
before saving them on diskettes. Archives can then be split up over several
diskettes.
Archiving
You can store individual projects or libraries in compressed form in an archive
file located on a hard disk or a transportable data medium (diskette).
In order to be able to access components of an archived project or library, the
project must first be extracted from the archive. Archiving is discussed in
detail in the User Manual /231/.

Configuring Hardware with STEP 7
SIMATIC S5 did not provide an option for configuring hardware using the
software. In S7, addressing and assigning parameters to modules and
configuring communications is carried out by means of a STEP 7 application.
The advantage of this method is that the user no longer has to make any
settings on the modules, since the configuring and assigning of parameters can
now be done centrally from the programming device.
Prerequisite
To configure hardware, a project must already have been created.
Inserting a Station
To create a new station in a project, open the project to display the project
window (if this has not already been done).
1. Select the project.
2. Create the object for the required hardware by selecting the menu
command Insert Station.
In the submenu you can select one of the following options:
• SIMATIC 300 station
• SIMATIC 400 station
• PC/programming device
• SIMATIC S5
• Other stations, meaning non-SIMATIC S7/M7 and SIMATIC S5
The stations PC/programming device, SIMATIC S5, and other stations are only
listed for configuring communication links. Configuration and programming of
S5 stations is not possible.

To configure the hardware, proceed as follows:
1. Click the new station you have inserted; it contains the “Hardware” object.
2. Open the “Hardware” object. The “HWConfig” window is displayed.
3. In the “Hardware Configuration” window, plan the structure of the station.
A catalog of modules is available to help you do this. If this is not already
displayed, select the menu command View Catalog to view it.
4. Insert a rack from the module catalog in the empty window. Then select the
modules and place them in the rack slots. At least one CPU must be
configured for each station. During this procedure, HWConfig
automatically checks all entries you make.
For further information on configuring hardware, see the User Manual /231/.
Result of
Configuration
For each CPU you create in your configuration, an S7 program and a
connection table (“Connections” object) are created automatically once you
have saved and exited the hardware configuration. The S7 program contains
the “Source Files” and “Blocks” objects as software containers as well as the
symbol table.
The “Blocks” container contains the object for OB1 and the “System Data”
object with the compiled configuration data.

• The type of connection established (such as an S7 connection or FDL
connection),
• Special properties such as the active or passive establishment of a
connection or whether operating mode messages are to be sent.
When you configure connections, a unique local identifier (known as the local
ID) is issued for each connection. This local ID is all you require when
assigning communication parameters.
Each CPU that can serve as the end point of a connection has its own
connection table.
Special Feature
If both communication partners are S7-400 stations, a local ID is automatically
issued for both end points of the connection. Only one local ID is generated on
the S7-400 station for connections to an S7-300 station.
Loading
Configuration Data
The local configuration data for connection end points on an S7 station must
be separately downloaded into each target station.
An (empty) connection table (“Connections” object) is automatically created
for each CPU. This connection table is used to define communication links
between CPUs in a network. After this is opened, a window is displayed
containing a table for defining connections between programmable modules
(For more information about defining connections, see the User Manual /231/).

Example:
Connection to an
S5 Device
This example shows you how to configure a connection to a SIMATIC S5
station. It assumes that you have already inserted a SIMATIC 400 station in
your project.
• Insert a SIMATIC S5 station in your project and then set the properties of
the station.
• Open the connection table for the S7 station and select the menu command
Insert Connections to insert a connection. A dialog box is displayed in
which you can enter the communication partner (the SIMATIC S5 station)
and the type of connection.
• Once you have entered this information, the connection appears in the
connection table. The properties for the connection must be entered in the
corresponding COM NCM for the S5 station.

Procedure
To create the software for your project, proceed as follows:
1. Open the S7 program.
2. Open the “Symbols” object in the S7 program and define the symbols.
(This step can also be done later.) You will find more information on
defining symbols in Section 3.13.2.
3. Open the “Blocks” container if you want to create blocks, or open the
“Source Files” container if you want to create a source file.
4. Insert a block or a source file, as appropriate. (For detailed information, see
Section 3.6.2). The following menu commands are used for this:
– Insert S7 Software Block, or
– Insert S7 Software Source File
5. Open the block or source file and enter a program. You will find more
information on programs in the Programming Manuals /232/-/236/.
Depending on your task, you may not need to perform all these steps.

Inserting Components for Creating Software in S7 and M7
Programs
Existing
Components
An S7/M7 program is created automatically for each programmable module as
a container for the software:
The following objects already exist in a new S7 program:
• Symbol table (“Symbols” object)
• A “Blocks” container for blocks with OB1 as the first block
• A “Source Files” container for programs in the form of source files
Creating S7 Blocks
If you want to create Statement List, Function Block Diagram, or Ladder Logic
programs, select the existing “Blocks” object and then click the menu
command Insert S7 Software Block. In the submenu, you can select the
type of block you want to create (such as a data block, user-defined data type
(UDT), function, function block, organization block, or variable table (VAT)).
You can now open the (empty) block and start entering the Statement List,
Ladder Logic, or Function Block Diagram program. You will find more
information in the Statement List /232/, Ladder Logic /233/, and Function
Block Diagram /236/ Programming Manuals.
The “System Data” object (SDB) which may exist in a user program was
created by the system. You can open it to view its contents, but you cannot
make changes to it for reasons of consistency. It is used to make changes to the
configuration once you have loaded a program and to download the changes to
the programmable controller.
Using Blocks from
Standard Libraries
You can also use blocks from the standard libraries supplied with the software
to create user programs. You access the libraries using the menu command File
Open. You will find more information on using standard libraries and
creating your own libraries in the online help.
Creating Source
Files
If you want to create a source file in Statement List, select the “Source Files”
or “Charts” object in the S7 program and then select the menu command
Insert S7 Software Source File. In the submenu, you can select the source
file which matches your programming language. You can now open the empty
source file and start entering your program.
Creating a Symbol
Table
An (empty) symbol table (“Symbols” object) is created automatically when the
S7 program is created. When you open the symbol table, the “Symbol Editor”
window opens displaying a symbol table where you can define symbols (refer
to Section 3.13.2 for more details).

Inserting External
Source Files
You can create and edit source files with any ASCII editor. You can then
import these files into your project and compile them into executable blocks.
To insert an external source file, proceed as follows:
1. Select the “Source Files” container to which you want to import the source
file.
2. Select the menu command Insert External Source File.
3. Enter the source file name in the dialog box which appears.
The blocks created when the imported source file is compiled are stored in the
“Blocks” container.

Organization blocks (OB)
Interface to the operating system
Integrated special OBs
System functions (SFC)
System function blocks
(SFBs)
System functions in STEP 7 replace
the special organization blocks (STEP

program.
Function block (FB, FX)
Function (FC)
Functions (FCs) in STEP 7 have the
same properties as function blocks in
STEP 5.
Program block (PB)
Function block (FB)
Program blocks correspond to the
function blocks in STEP 7. Function
blocks in STEP 7 have completely
new properties compared to blocks in
STEP 5 having the same name; thus,
they now provide new programming
options.
Note: During conversion, program
blocks are transformed into functions
(FCs).
Sequence block (SB)
–
There are no sequence blocks in
STEP 7.
Data block (DB, DX)
Data block (DB)
In STEP 7 the data blocks are longer
than in STEP 5 (in S7-300 up to
8 Kbytes, in S7-400 up to 64 Kbytes).
Data block DX0, DB1 in its
special function
System data blocks (SDB)
(CPU parameter assignment)
The new system data blocks contain
all the hardware configuration data,
including the CPU parameter
assignments, which determine the
program processing.
Comment blocks DK, DKX,
FK, FKX, PK
–
In STEP 7 there are no longer any
comment blocks. Comments are
contained in the respective block in
the offline database.

Software
3.7.2
Functions and Function Blocks
Functions (FCs)
Functions (FCs) are logic blocks without a “memory”. The output parameters
contain the calculated function values after the function is processed. It is then
up to the user how the actual parameters are used and saved after the FC is
called.
Do not confuse functions with function blocks! In STEP 7 these are different
types of blocks.
Function Blocks
(FBs)
Function blocks (FB) are logic blocks which do have a “memory.” The
memory is in the form of an instance data block which is associated with the
function, in which the actual parameters and static data of the function block
are stored.
Function blocks are used for applications such as programming controller
structures.
3.7.3
Data Blocks
Data blocks store the data for the user program. A distiction is made between
shared data blocks and instance data blocks, as explained in the following:
• Shared data blocks are not assigned to any particular block (as in STEP 5).
• Instance data blocks are associated with a function block (FB) and contain,
in addition to the FB data, the data from multiple instances that may have
been defined.
Every data block can either be a shared data block or an instance data block.

System Blocks
System Functions
(SFCs) and System
Function Blocks
(SFBs)
You do not have to program every function yourself. You can also program
communication functions, for example, by using pre-configured blocks that are
available in the operating system on the CPUs. These are the following:
• System functions (SFCs), with properties like those of functions (FCs)
• System function blocks (SFBs), with properties like those of function
blocks (FBs).
System Data
Blocks (SDB)
The previous discussion was centered around blocks containing programs or
data from the user program. In addition to these blocks there are other blocks
containing settings such as module parameters or addresses. These are called
system data blocks (SDBs) and are created by special STEP 7 applications,
for example, when entering the hardware configuration or creating connection
tables.

Exceeded Signal
As in S5, you can also use the status word bits OV and OS to evaluate a report
of an exceeded signal. The difference in behavior in the two systems is minor.
For further information about the behavior of status bits with reference to
instructions, see the Statement List Programming Manual /232/.
Integrated Special
Functions
The interface between the user program and the system program in S5 CPUs
consists of accesses made to the operating system area and via special OBs.
In S7 CPUs, this interface has two new block types (“system functions” and
“system function blocks”), in addition to the organization blocks.

Standard Functions
During conversion, the standard functions present in S5 are automatically
replaced by converted functions having the same functionality. In S7, most of
these functions can be replaced by simplified command sequences, which
conserves memory and reduces the cycle time.
The standard functions are contained in the “StdLib30” S7 library located in
the program container FBLib1.

Note on Data
Addresses
In S7 there are two data block registers: the DB register, which is
predominantly used for shared data blocks and the DI register, which is
preferred for instance DBs. For this reason there are also two types of data
addresses. The addresses DBX, DBB, DBW, and DBD are addresses of shared
data blocks; the addresses DIX, DIB, DIW, and DID are addresses of instance
DBs. During conversion, addresses of shared data blocks are used for the data
block addresses D, DB, DW, DD.
Also note how data blocks are converted (see Section 3.7.6).

Warning
Be aware that the size and number areas for address areas and the number and
length of blocks for S7 all depend upon the CPU used. CPU performance
criteria and ratings can be found in Section 2.2.1.

3.11.2
New Addresses in S7: Local Data
Local Data in
STEP 7
Local data in STEP 7 are the data assigned to a logic block which are either
declared in its declaration section or in its variable declaration. Depending on
the block, they consist of formal parameters, static data, and temporary data.
Local data are usually addressed symbolically.
Block Parameters
Block parameters of functions (FC) are handled like the block parameters in
S5: the block parameters represent pointers which point to the corresponding
actual parameter.
Block parameters of function blocks (FB) are stored like the static local data in
the instance data block.
Static Local Data
Static local data can be used in every function block. They are defined in the
declaration section and stored in the instance data block.
Static local data, like data addresses in shared data blocks, retain their value
until they are overwritten by the program.
Generally, the static local data are only processed in the function block.
However, since they are stored in a data block, the local data can be accessed
in the user program at any time, as is the case with variables in a shared data
block.
Temporary Local
Data
Scratchpad flags in STEP 5
In STEP 5, bit memory address areas are used to store data temporarily within
blocks. By common agreement, the flags 200 to 250 are reserved for temporary
storage. The management of scratchpad flags is completely up to the user.
Temporary local data in STEP 7
Temporary local data are storage areas for data that are only valid during block
processing. As soon as the block has been processed, these local data release
the used memory again. Each priority class has its own local data stack. This
prevents intermediate results from being inadvertently overwritten by interrupt
programs.
From S5 to S7, Converter Manual
A5E00171227-01
3-33
Software
Using Temporary
Local Data in
STEP 7
In STEP 7, temporary variables are used for the following three applications:
• As intermediate storage for data from a user program.
This application is explained above and applies to functions (FCs), function
blocks (FBs), and organization blocks (OBs).
• As memory used for transferring operating system information to the user
program.
The information supplied by the operating system to the user program has a
special name: “start information.” This start information is exclusively
provided to the organization blocks (OBs) as an interface between the
operating system and the user program.
• To transfer parameters in FCs.
Where Are
Temporary Local
Data Declared?
3-34
You declare temporary local data within a block. When you create a new
block, you declare symbolic names for the temporary variables at the
beginning and then use them within the block. Each priority class has 256
bytes available in the S7-300. A total of 16 Kbytes are available in the S7-400
which the user can divide among the priority classes when assigning
parameters to the CPU.

3.13 Addressing
3.13.1
Absolute Addressing
The absolute addressing in S5 and S7 is identical, with one exception:
In S7, data in data blocks are addressed in bytes; that is, word addresses in S5
are transformed into byte addresses by being multiplied by 2.
The following table shows the assignment during this conversion (data area

DBD 0, 2, 4, 6, ...508
D x.y
DBX 2 x.y for 8 ≤ y ≤ 15
DBX (2 x+1).y for 0 ≤ y ≤ 7
Symbolic Addressing
The symbolic addressing in S5 is also used in S7. However, there are now new
options for creating and using the symbols. There are no differences in
programming.
Symbols in STEP 5
Symbols for STEP 5 programs are declared with the help of the symbol editor.
This editor generates an assignment list which allows you to use the symbols
defined there instead of absolute addresses.
Symbols in STEP 7
In S7, symbols can be up to 24 characters long.
Shared Symbols
STEP 7 also has a symbol editor, but the assignment list (ZULI) is now known
as a “symbol table.” In it you can declare all shared symbols such as inputs,
outputs, bit memory (flags), and blocks.
When you assign symbols with the symbol editor, these are valid for a CPU
program.
From S5 to S7, Converter Manual
A5E00171227-01
3-39
Software
Local Symbols
Besides being able to declare symbols with the symbol editor, STEP 7 also
gives you the option of specifying local symbols for data addresses and for the
local data area when programming blocks.
If you assign symbols within a block instead of assigning them with the
symbol editor, then this symbol is only “valid” for the block concerned. In this
case the symbol is “local to the block.”
When are Symbols
Declared?
STEP 7 does not stipulate exactly when you have to specify your symbols.
When doing this you have the following two options:
• Specify them before beginning to program
(This is required if the user program is input incrementally; that is, if the
program syntax is checked after each line is created.)
• Specify them after creating the user program but before compiling
(This is required if the user program is input in free-edit mode; that is, if
the program is created as an ASCII file (source file).)
Importing a
Symbol Table
In S7, you have the option of creating and editing the symbol table with the
editor of your choice.
You can import tables that you created with another tool into your symbol table
and then edit them further. For example, the import function can be used to add
assignment lists created in STEP 5/ST after conversion.
The following data formats are available: *.SDF, *.ASC, *.DIF, and *.SEQ.
To import a symbol table, proceed as follows:
1. Open the S7 program containing the symbol table in the project window.
2. Double-click the “Symbols” container to open the symbol table.
3. Select the menu command Symbol Table Import in the window
containing the symbol table. A dialog box is displayed.
4. Select the symbol table that you want to import in the dialog box and then
click the “Open” button.
5. Check over the data records in the symbol table and make any corrections
necessary.
6. Save and close the symbol table.
Note
A symbol table in *.SEQ file format that was converted from S5 to S7 can no
longer be imported into S5. The file format *.DIF is recommended for
exchanging symbol tables between S5 and S7.
For further information on symbol tables, see the User Manual /231/.

3.13.3
New Feature: Complete Addressing of Data Addresses
Complete addressing means that the data block is specified along with the data
address. This was not possible in S5.
Complete addressing can occur either absolutely or symbolically. Combining
absolute and symbolic addressing within one statement is not possible.
Example
L DB100.DBW6
L DB_MOTOR.SPEED
DB_MOTOR is the symbol for the data block DB100 and is defined in the
symbol table. MOTOR.SPEED is a data address that was declared in the data
block. This means that the symbolic name for the data address
(DB_MOTOR.SPEED) is just as unique as the absolute address
(DB100.DBW6).
Completely addressed data access can only be done in connection with the
shared data block register (DB register). During complete addressing the STL
editor issues statements:
1. Open the data block via the DB register (such as OPN DB100)
2. Access the data address (such as L DBW 6)
Possible
Operations Using
CompletelyAddressed Data
Access
You have the option of using completely addressed access for all instructions
that are allowed for the data type in the data address being addressed.
Completely addressed data addresses can also be specified as block
parameters. This is strongly recommended since it is possible for the data
block to be switched when it is called. Complete addressing ensures that the
correct data address is transferred from the correct data block.

Software
Dangers of “Partial
Addressing”
In principle it is possible to access data addresses in the same way as in
STEP 5 (“partial addressing”).
Example:
L DBW 6
L SPEED
In STEP 7 this may cause problems because STEP 7 changes the registers for
the S7-300/S7-400 CPU during various operations. In some cases the DB
number in the DB register will be overwritten.
The DB register may be overwritten in the following situations. Thus,
particular care must be taken here:
• The DB register is overwritten during data access using complete
addressing.
• If a function block (FB) is called, then the data block register for the calling
block is overwritten.
• After a call is made to a function (FC) which transfers a parameter with a
complex data type (such as STRING, DATE_AND_TIME, ARRAY,
STRUCT, or UDT), the contents of the DB register for the calling block are
overwritten.
• After you have assigned an actual parameter to an FC stored in a DB (such
as DB100.DBX0.1), STEP 7 opens the DB (DB100) in which the contents
of the DB register are overwritten.
• After an FB has addressed an in/out parameter with a complex data type
such as STRING, DATE_AND_TIME, ARRAY, STRUCT, or UDT,
STEP 7 uses the DB register to access data. This step overwrites the
contents of the DB register.
• After an FC has addressed a parameter (input, output or in/out) with a
complex data type (such as STRING, DATE_AND_TIME, ARRAY,
STRUCT, or UDT), STEP 7 uses the DB register to access data. This step
overwrites the contents of the DB register.

Memory-Indirect
Addressing
Memory-indirect addressing corresponds to indirect addressing in S5. During
memory-indirect addressing, the address specifies the address of the value that
will process the instruction. The address consists of the following parts:
• An address identifier, such as “IB” for “input byte”, and
• A word that contains the number of a timer (T), a counter (C), a data block
(DB), a function (FC) or a function block (FB), or
• A double word that specifies the exact address of a value within the
memory area indicated by the address identifier.
The address uses the pointer to indirectly indicate the address of the value or
the number. This word or double word can be located in one of the following
areas:
• Bit memory (flag)
(M)
• Data block
(DB)
• Instance data block
(DI)
• Local data
(L)
The advantage of memory-indirect addressing is that you can dynamically
modify the address of the statement when editing the program.

T MW [MD2]
The controller loads input byte IB 8 and transfers the
contents to memory word FW 8 (MW 8 in STEP 7).
When working with a memory-indirect address that is stored in the memory
area of the data block, you must first open the data block by using the “Open
data block” instruction (OPN). After this, you can use the data word or data
double word as the indirect address, as shown in the following example:
OPN
L
DB10
IB [DBD 20]
When accessing a byte, word, or double word, first make sure that the bit
number of the pointer is “0.”
Register-Indirect
Addressing
In STEP 7, the address registers AR1 and AR2 are used for indirect
addressing.
With indirect addressing, the address specifies the memory location of the
value that will process the instruction. The address consists of the following
two parts:
• An address identifier
• An address register and a pointer for indicating the offset added to the
content of the address register in order to determine the exact address that
the instruction is to process. The pointer is indicated by P#Byte.Bit.
The address points indirectly to the address of the value. It does this by using
the address register plus the offset.
An instruction that uses area-internal, register-indirect addressing does not
change the value in the address register.
For further information, see the Statement List Programming Manual /232/.

Procedure
The programming of S7 in STL is largely compatible with S5 STL. Similarly,
programming Ladder in S7 is compatible to S5 LAD and programming FBD in
S7 is compatible to S5 CSF. Thus, if you are an S5 user and want to use
existing programs in S7, this change is made much easier for you. You can
base the new system on your tried and tested S5 programs and convert them to
S7 programs.
How to Proceed
The following list tells you how to convert your S5 program and lists the
sections where you will find the required information.
The list is intended as an example and as a guideline (individual steps can also
be skipped).
From S5 to S7, Converter Manual
A5E00171227-01
4-1
Procedure
4.1
Analyzing the S5 System
Before you convert your S5 program you should clarify the following
questions:
Functionality of
the Modules
(see Chapter 2)
How can the functionality of the modules used in your S5 program be achieved
in S7? Can your S5 modules be used in S7 with the help of adapter or interface
modules? Can your S5 modules be replaced with S7 modules?
System Settings
(see Section 3.8)
How can the required system settings be implemented in S7?
Range of
Instructions
(see Section 3.12)
How can the range of instructions used by the S5 CPU be implemented using
your S7 CPU?
Standard Software
(see Section 3.9)
Do the S5 standard function blocks called in the program to be converted also
exist as functions in S7?
If individual instructions cannot be converted, a message is output indicating
the corresponding program sections and the instructions must be
reprogrammed manually.
The S7 Standard software supplied includes the standard software packages
already converted for basic functions, floating-point math, integrated
functions, signal functions, and math functions.
Special Functions
(see Table 3-5)
4-2
Can integrated special functions used in S5 programs be replaced?
From S5 to S7, Converter Manual
A5E00171227-01
Procedure
Which Parts of
Your Program
Should be
Reprogrammed in
S7?
In general, not all the parts of a program can be converted. Considering the
following points will help you decide whether to convert your S5 program or
to recreate it in S7.
• Programs only containing digital and binary logic operations do not need to
be revised.
• Absolute addresses cannot be addressed in S7. The corresponding
instructions (such as LIR, TIR, etc.) are not converted. If a program
frequently works with absolute addresses, it is a good idea to rewrite these
parts of the program or, if necessary, the entire program.
• Processing functions (such as DO FW, DO DW) are partially converted;
however, in this case you can save memory by reprogramming the
functions in S7. This functionality can be obtained with indirect addressing.
• The parameter values of block calls must be always be checked and
adapted since the actual parameters used are transferred during conversion
without being changed.

Procedure
4.2
Creating an S7 Project
STEP 7 provides you with the following two options for creating a project:
Creating a Project
with the STEP 7
Wizard
The STEP 7 wizard helps you create a STEP 7 program quickly with the CPU
you want to use. After completing this step, you can start programming.
Creating a
Program Manually
In addition, you have the option of creating your project manually. The
procedure for this is described in Section 3.3.1.
4.3
Defining Hardware
At this point it is a good idea to configure the hardware since data are
determined in HWConfig that can be then be used to prepare for conversion.
However, if you do not want to configure your hardware yet, you can still do it
later.
Defining Hardware
The information found in Chapter 2 (“Hardware”) will help you select the S7
or S5 modules required for your configuration and fill out the hardware
configuration table (see Section 3.4).
Address Allocation
The address allocation for the modules is done automatically by HWConfig.
This means that you can already use the addresses during conversion.
Making System
Settings
When assigning parameters to the CPU in HWConfig you can also make
system settings which were created in DB1/DX0 in S5 or by system utilities
(see Section 3.4).
Specifying
Retentive Behavior
The retentive behavior can also be set in the parameter data in the CPU. The
retentive behavior is, however, dependent on the battery backup (see
Section 3.4).

Preparing for Conversion
5.1
Providing the Required Files
The following data are required as the basis for converting your S5 program:
• Program file <Name> ST.S5D and
• Cross-reference list <Name> XR.INI
The cross-reference list is required when converting in order to retain the
program structure and call hierarchy of the S5 program.
Optional
Requirement
If you want to use symbolic names in your program instead of absolute
addresses, you also require the following data to generate the converted
assignment list:
• S5 assignment list <Name> Z0.SEQ.
Procedure
To prepare the conversion, proceed as follows:
1. Create a current cross-reference list for your S5 program using the S5
software.
2. Copy your STEP 5 program file, the corresponding cross-reference list and,
if necessary, the assignment list into a DOS directory.

Checking Addresses
Range of
Functions of the
CPU
It may be necessary to adapt the converted program to the S7 CPU being used.
To gain an overview of the range of functions of the S7 CPU, proceed as
follows:
1. Determine the S7 CPU that you want to use.
2. Find this S7 CPU in the performance specifications tables in Section 2.2.1
and compare the following two specifications:
• Number of addresses
• Number of blocks
with the addresses and blocks to be used,
or
1. Open the SIMATIC Manager.
2. Select the S7 CPU in the online view of the project structure.
3. Use the menu command PLC Module Information to open a dialog box
which includes, among other things, the following information:
• In the “General” tab you can identify the CPU type, obtain information on
the memory configuration, and read the size of the available address areas.
• In the “Blocks” tab there is information on the available blocks. This
includes the maximum number and length of the blocks types, as well as all
OBs, SFBs, and SFCs present on the CPU.
Adapting the
Converted
Program
To adapt the STL program being converted so that it can run on the CPU,
check it for the permitted number of blocks and addresses, and modify as
necessary.

5-3
Preparing for Conversion
5.3
Preparing the S5 Program
Before actually converting your STEP 5 program, you can prepare it for its
future use as a STEP 7 program. (However, you do not have to do this first; all
necessary corrections can also be made in the STEP 7 source file after the
conversion.) This initial adaptation will reduce the number of error messages
and warnings occurring during conversion.
For example, you can make the following adaptations to the STEP 5 program
before proceeding with the conversion:
• Evaluate system settings in the data blocks with the program properties
DB1 or DX0. After this, you can delete DB1 and DX0.
• Remove all calls from integrated blocks or accesses to the system data area;
this functionality can be achieved by assigning parameters to the S7 CPU.
• Adapt all input, output, and peripheral address areas to the (new) module
addresses by using the STEP 5 function “Rewire.” (When doing this, you
should make sure that the STEP 5 address area is not exceeded; otherwise,
an error will be reported during the first cycle of the conversion process. If
this occurs, these instructions will not be converted.)
• Delete all repeated non-convertible parts of the program until there is only
one “unique” STEP 5 instruction for each part of the program. This
“unique” instruction can be assigned a macro to replace the part of the
program (see Section 5.4)
• If your program contains very many (and long) data blocks having no
structure (such as those used as data buffers), you can delete the data words
in these data blocks until only one data word remains. After converting but
before compiling, you can program the contents of these data blocks in the
source file by using an array declaration, such as buffer: ARRAY [1..256]
of WORD.
With the converter you can not only convert complete programs but also
individual program blocks.

Creating Macros
Uses of Macros
When converting, you can define macros for the following:
• S5 instructions that cannot be automatically converted and
• S5 instructions that you want to convert differently from the standard
conversion.
Macros can be useful if your program contains many S5 instructions which
correspond to the characteristics listed above.
Macro Functions
Macros can replace the following:
• S5 instructions
• S5 organization blocks (OBs)
The macros are saved for the SIMATIC instruction set in the S7S5CAPA.MAC
file and for the international instruction set in the S7S5CAPB.MAC file. If you
work with both instruction sets, you must specify the macros for each file. A
distinction is made between instruction macros and OB macros. You can create
256 instruction macros and 256 OB macros.

Preparing for Conversion
5.4.1
Instruction Macros
Instruction macros must be structured as follows:
$MACRO: <S5 instruction>
S7 instruction sequence
$ENDMACRO
When defining a macro, enter the complete statement (instruction and absolute
address) for <S5 instruction>.
The table below shows a macro for the statement G DB 0, which is used to set
up data blocks in S5. The length (in words) of the data block to be set up is in
ACCU 1. In S7, the function is realized using the system function SFC22
CREAT_DB. The length of the data block must be converted into bytes.

5.4.2
OB Macros
Due to the differences in the organization blocks between S5 and S7 it may be
advisable to control the conversion of your instructions with S5 OBs yourself.
In this case, OB macros must be structured as follows:
$OBCALL: <Number of the OB>
CALL <S7 system function>;
$ENDMACRO
If an instruction with the address OB x is found in the S5 source file, this
instruction is replaced by the defined macro instructions. Exceptions to this are
the FB calls that use OBs as formal parameters.

$OBCALL: 31
//Replaces instructions

$ENDMACRO
Notes on Creating
OBs
The functions of the organization blocks in S5 are different from those of the
OBs in S7. OBs that cannot be converted automatically must be replaced by
the following:
• OBs with a different range of functions
• New S7 instructions, or
• System settings which are defined when assigning the hardware parameters
For detailed information about replacing S5 OBs, see Section 3.7.5.
Note
There is no check to determine whether a macro is defined twice. If this
happens to be the case, then the first macro defined is used. There is no check
to determine whether the specified S7 instruction sequence is correct. Make
sure that keywords and special characters (colon) are correctly written.

Editing the Converted Program
Preparing to Edit
7
The following preparations are necessary to edit the STL source file generated
during conversion:
• Make a printout of the messages generated during conversion.
• Create an S7 program in a project in the SIMATIC Manager, if you have
not already done so.
• Import the STL source file program into the “Source Files” container of
this S7 program, using the menu command Insert External Source File,
• Open the converted file.
Editing the File
To edit the generated STL source file, we recommend the following procedure:
• Work through the program in interactive mode and modify or supplement
the S5 instructions and organization blocks that were not converted based
on the warnings (see Part 1).
From S5 to S7, Converter Manual
A5E00171227-01

Editing the Converted Program
7.1
Address Changes
Usually, input and output modules are affected by address changes. The
addresses for these modules can be found in HWConfig.
7.1.1
Options for Changing Addresses
Rewiring in S5
Before converting you can use the “Rewire” function to adapt the addresses of
individual addresses in S5 to the new addresses in S7.
Rewiring in S7
The SIMATIC Manager contains a function for automatically rewiring blocks
generated from your source file.
To rewire blocks, proceed as follows:
1. Select the blocks in your program to be rewired in the SIMATIC Manager.
2. Open the table used for rewiring by selecting the menu command
Options Rewire.
3. Enter the old and new addresses for each address in the table and then save
them.
The blocks now contain the changed addresses.
Changing
Addresses in the
S7 Source File
In your program, adapt access to inputs and outputs as well as direct I/O access
to the new module addresses in S7.
In the S7 source file you can easily make changes to the absolute addresses by
selecting the menu command Edit Replace.
Caution: If the old and new address areas overlap, then unintended changes can
occur.
Generating a New
(Symbolically
Addressed) S7
Source File
If you want to use symbolic addressing, you can also use the symbol table to
do the rewiring.
Prerequisite
Before rewiring, you must already have a compiled program that is error-free
and a symbol table that contains all the symbols necessary for modifying the
absolute addresses.
7-2
From S5 to S7, Converter Manual
A5E00171227-01
Editing the Converted Program
Procedure
To change the addresses, proceed as follows:
1. Open a block containing addresses to be changed. Select the option
“Symbolic Representation” in the “Editor” tab of the dialog box opened
with the menu command Options Customize.
Repeat this procedure for all blocks containing addresses that you wish to
change.
2. Generate a source file from the blocks by selecting the menu command File
Generate Source File. The blocks can be selected in a dialog box after
you have entered the name of the source file.
When creating a sequence of blocks, remember to take the call hierarchy into
account. As a rule, called blocks must already exist. This means that they must
be entered in the source file in front of the blocks from which they are called.
Result: The source file generated contains the instructions with symbolic
addressing.
3. Now you can carry out the rewiring in the symbol table. Replace the
changed S5 addresses with the new S7 addresses.
4. Once the source file is compiled, the blocks contain the new addresses.
7.2
Non-Convertible Functions
Addresses and instructions that cannot be converted automatically are only
included as comments in the generated S7 program. These you must revise
yourself.
As the user, there are two ways in which you can convert these instructions:
• You can define your own S7 STL instruction sequence (macros) for these
instructions (if they occur in the user program). These can then be used
during conversion.
• You can edit the instruction sequences in the resulting S7 program.
Which method is better depends on the number of occurrences of such
instructions in your user program.
You can read about non-convertible addresses and instructions in Sections 3.11
and 3.12. These sections also contain suggestions for creating non-convertible
functions in S7.

7-3
Editing the Converted Program
7.3
Indirect Addressing – Conversion
The S5/S7 Converter uses STEP 7 instructions to convert indirect addressing
with DO FW and DO DW. The instruction sequence generated is generally
very extensive since the STEP 5 pointer has to be converted into STEP 7
format, and the accumulator contents and the status word must be buffered
when doing so.
If your program contains very frequent indirect addressing, then it is worth
adapting to the indirect addressing in STEP 7. A substantial amount of
memory space can be saved by using appropriate programming techniques.
The list below explains how the S5/S7 Converter converts indirect addressing
in different cases:
Timers and
Counters
Indirect addressing of timers and counters is converted into memory-indirect
addressing by using a temporary local data word.
Blocks
Indirect addressing of blocks is converted into memory-indirect addressing by
using a temporary local data word.
The new block numbers cannot be taken into account during conversion and
must therefore be corrected.
Addresses
The indirect addressing of addresses is converted by bits and words into
register-indirect addressing by using the address register AR1 and temporary
local data as a buffer for the status word STW, ACCU 1, and ACCU 2.
Indirect
Addressing via the
BR Register
The instructions are not converted. Indirect addressing must be reprogrammed
in S7.
Other Types of
Indirect
Addressing
The instructions must be reprogrammed in S7.
7-4
For further information on indirect addressing, see Section 3.13.4.
From S5 to S7, Converter Manual
A5E00171227-01
Editing the Converted Program
7.4
Working with Direct Memory Access
In STEP 5, access to absolute memory addresses was used for some functions.
This type of access no longer exists in STEP 7.
STEP 5
STEP 7
Addressing data addresses in “extra long” data
blocks
Addressing data addresses greater than 255 can
now be done with standard instructions (L, T, ...).
Indirect addressing with the BR register
Indirect addressing can be done with
register-indirect addressing (see Section 3.13.4
and the Statement List Programming Manual
/232/).
Using block transfers
For block transfers there is now a system function
SFC20 BLKMOV. The memory areas to be
copied are specified at the block parameters. If the
memory areas are variable, then they can be
specified at the parameters “ANY pointer”, which
can be accessed in the user program.
7.5
Assigning Parameters
S5 Command
B<Block
Parameters>
Depending on the type of block transferred, the statement B <Formal
Parameters of Type “B”> runs in S5 as the following:
• “JU Logic Block” or as
• “A DB Data Block”.
In this case, automatic conversion is not possible because of missing type
information in the formal parameter. Check your program for X instructions
with parameters of type “B” and then convert these instructions manually.
Actual Parameters
For function blocks with parameters assigned, the S5/S7 Converter applies the
actual parameters to block calls without changing them. If you have already
defined addresses with an actual parameter, you will have to check this address
definition and change it if necessary.
Examples:
• Defining a data word number:
This must be converted into addressing done in bytes
• Defining an I/O address:
The new module address must be used.
• Transferring a block:
The block must include the new block number.

7.6
Standard Functions
S5 Standard
Function Blocks
If your S5 program contains standard function blocks (SFBs), they are
indicated as follows:
• Before conversion: by an asterisk in the “Std.” column of the dialog box
“Converting S5 Files [<Name>ST.S5D]”, and
• After conversion: by displaying the message “Output not allowed (product
no.)”.
The STEP 7 Standard software is supplied with S7 functions that have already
been converted (former S5 standard function blocks) for floating-point math,
signal functions, integrated functions, basic logic functions, and math functions
with the names FC61 to FC125 (see Section 3.9).
Inserting FCs
To integrate the S7 functions into your S7 program, proceed as follows:
1. Open the project into which you want to insert the functions.
2. Open the standard library in the SIMATIC Manager with the converted S5
functions (StdLib30).
3. Copy the required S7 functions from the standard library into the S7
program.

A5E00171227-01
Compiling the Program
8
Before you can run the converted and edited program, it must be compiled
with the STL compiler. The procedure is exactly the same as for compiling a
newly written text file.
Checking Data
Consistency
Select the the menu command File Consistency Check to check the syntax
and consistency of the source file at any time without causing blocks to be
generated. Among other things, this function checks the following:
• The syntax,
• The symbols, and
• For the presence of called blocks in the program
Once the check is complete, a compiler report is generated which contains the
name of the compiled file, the number of lines compiled, the number of errors
present, as well as any warnings that occurred.
Compiling the
Source File
Select the menu command File Compile to convert your source file into a
block.
Once the compiling is complete, a compiler report is displayed containing any
errors that occurred. This report is similar to the one displayed after a file has
been checked for consistency. If a source file contains several blocks, then only
the error-free ones are compiled and saved.

Application Example
This chapter presents an application example illustrating four areas of
operation that are either new in S7 or are now performed differently than in S5:
• Analog value processing
• Local data
• Evaluation of startup information in the organization blocks
• Block transfer
In this example, a motor operating to the right (clockwise) and left
(counter-clockwise) is controlled by means of a digital I/O module. The speed
is read by an analog input module and can be output by an analog output
module. The digital and analog modules used in this example must be able to
trigger a diagnostic interrupt.

The values for analog output modules are depicted as 12-bit twos complement.
Analog input modules can evaluate the value as a signed 12-bit number or as a
13-bit twos complement, as required.
The “O” bit indicates the amount of overflow.
The “E” bit is the error bit, which is set when an error occurs (for example, a
wire break, if thius has been assigned parameters).
The “A” bit corresponds to the activity bit. If the bit is “0”, then the value
displayed is valid.

The sign preceding (S = sign) the analog value is always in bit 15; here, a “0”
stands for a positive and a “1” for a negative value.
In S7 there are no error bits.
If an error occurs, the value W#16#7FFF is output.
In the case of an error, blocks having diagnostic capability can trigger a
diagnostic interrupt. The parameters for this interrupt are set in HWConfig.

Application Example
If the resolution of an analog module is less than 15 bits, the analog value is
left-aligned in the user data. Unoccupied low values have the signal state “0”.
Example
In this example, the speed of the motor is read by an analog input module
having a resolution of 14 bits. This measured value has a bipolar range, such as
+/–10V.
Upper and lower limits are transferred as parameters.
The analog value is checked for an upper and lower limit. If the value read lies
outside of the permissible range, an error is reported using the binary result
(BR = 0) and output as the value “0”. If the value is acceptable, it is output.
The analog value is output via the return value RET_VAL of the function. This
RET_VAL is a functional value. In S7, this is a new functionality compared to
S5.

Temporary Local Data
Temporary local data function as buffer storage and thus replace the scratchpad
flags used in S5. Temporary local data can be used in all logic blocks. These
data are lost after a logic block has been processed; they are located in the local
data stack (L stack).
Example 1
This first example uses the temporary local data that are symbolically
addressed as a buffer. A preset speed is converted into the digitalized measured
value for the analog output module having a resolution of 14 bits. This
measured value has a bipolar range, such as +/–10V.
Upper and lower limits are transferred as parameters.
The measured value is output via the return value (RET_VAL) for the function.
Each function can optionally provide a return value. The data type of the return

Example 2
The second example uses local data which are addressed absolutely, such as
the S5 scratchpad flags, and shows how the clockwise and counter-clockwise
operation of a motor is controlled. In this example, the input byte and the
output byte are copied into the local data area. The user must reserve an area in
the local stack for temporary local data use since the L stack is being used by
the LAD/STL/FBD editor. The absolute addresses of the local data can be read
in the block located in the declaration section. The local data bits are linked to
each other by logic operations in the program. This produces the output signals
which are written back at the end of the block to the output byte from the local
data. The addresses for the input and output bytes can be assigned parameters.
Note
Inserting new variables in front of existing local data will cause the
subsequent local data addresses to be shifted.

The voltage is applied via the ON switch. The motor is now ready for use; this
status is signaled by the output READY. The motor can be operated in a
clockwise or counter-clockwise direction as required by using the buttons
MOTOR_RIGHT and MOTOR_LEFT, respectively. The motor can only be
operated in one direction at a time. Before changing the direction of motor
rotation, the motor must be paused with the STOP switch. If a travel limit
switch is reached, the motor is stopped. The EMERGENCY_STOP button also
stops the motor; if this occurs then the motor can be restarted only after the
EMERGENCY_STOP button has been reset.

for OB82
The startup information from the diagnostic interrupt OB contains the logical
base address with four bytes of diagnostic information. The exact structure of
this startup information is described in the Reference Manual /235/. Templates
for the corresponding variable declaration table are located in the “StdLib30”
standard library under the heading “StdOBs”.
Based on diagnostic interrupt parameters previously configured in HWConfig,
the digital modules make a request to the CPU for a diagnostic interrupt. This
function applies to both incoming and outgoing events. After this request, the
operating system calls the organization block OB82.
You can disable, delay, or re-enable the calling of the diagnostic interrupt OB
with the help of the system functions (SFCs) 39 to 42. For further information,
see the Reference Manual /235/.
Example
The following sample program shows how the external auxiliary voltage is
evaluated. If the external auxiliary voltage is interrupted, the bit
NO_EXT_VOLTAGE is set in DB82 “DB_DIAG”. In addition, the module
address and the time of the event are also saved. This information can be
processed later in the program.
Before the STL source file is compiled, the symbol for the data block DB82
“DB_DIAG” must be entered in the symbol table.

Block Transfer
You can use the system function SFC20 “BLKMOV” (block move) to copy the
contents of one memory area, the “source field”, into another memory area, the
“target field”.
You can use SFC20 “BLKMOV” to copy all inputs, outputs, bit memory, and
data.
Parameters

Data Type
Memory
Area
Description
SRCBLK
INPUT
ANY
I, Q, M, D, L
Indicates the memory area to be copied
(source field).
RET_VAL
OUTPUT
INT
I, Q, M, D, L
If an error occurs during processing of
the function, the return value will
contain an error code.
DSTBLK
OUTPUT
ANY
I, Q, M, D, L
Indicates the memory area into which
the data is to be copied (target field)
Note
The source and target fields must not overlap. If the target field specified is
larger than the source field, than only the amount of data contained in the
source field is copied into the target field.
If the target field specified is smaller that the source field, then only the
amount of data that the target field can accept is copied.
If you want to have the parameters for the source and target areas of SFC20
“BLKMOV” filled with variable values instead of constant pointers, you can
do this by using temporary variables of the data type ANY.

Application Example
Example
The example shows a function which uses the the system function SFC20
“BLKMOV” to copy data area (in data blocks). Variable source and target
areas can be entered as parameters.
Principle
The function contains two ANY pointers in the local data area and one ANY
pointer for the target area. As a rule, the ANY data type can only be used for
variables in the local data area.
In the function, the ANY pointer is assigned a value as indicated in the
structure previously described. This value is indicated in the parameters when
the SFC20 “BLKMOV” is called.

Glossary
A
Actual Parameter
Actual parameters replace formal parameters when a function block (FB) or
function (FC) is called, for example, the formal parameter “START” is
replaced by the actual parameter “I3.6”.
Address
An address includes the address identifier and the physical memory location
where the address is stored. Examples: Input I12.1; Memory Word MW25;
Data Block DB3.
An address is part of a STEP 7 statement and specifies what the processor
should execute the instruction on. Addresses can be absolute or symbolic.
Assigning
Parameters
Assigning parameters means setting the behavior of a module.
B
Block
Blocks are part of the user program and can be distinguished by their function,
their structure, or their purpose. STEP 7 provides the following types of
blocks:
• Logic blocks (FB, FC, OB, SFB, SFC)
• Data blocks (DB, SDB)
• User-defined data types (UDT)
Block Call
A block call is the branch into the called block taken during program
processing.
Block Parameter
Block parameters are token values within multipurpose blocks which are
supplied with current values when the corresponding block is called.

C
Compiler
The compiler program for compiling a program written in a higher
programming language to the machine code the CPU uses is known as a
compiler.
Configuring
Configuring is the selection and putting together of the individual components
of a programmable logic controller (PLC), and the installation of the required
software and adapting it to the specific task (such as assigning parameters to
the modules.)
D
Data Block (DB)
Data blocks are areas in the user program which contain user data. There are
shared data blocks which can be accessed by all logic blocks, and there are
instance data blocks which are associated with a particular function block (FB)
call. Data blocks contain no logic instructions, in contrast to all other types of
block.
Data, Static
Static data are local data in a function block which are stored in the instance
data block and thus remain stored until the next function block call.
Data, Temporary
Temporary data are local data in a block which are kept in the L stack while
the block is in use and are no longer available once the block is closed.
Data Type
With the help of data types you can specify how the value of a variable or a
constant is to be used in the user program. There are two data types according
to IEC 1131-3 available to users of SIMATIC S7: elementary and complex
data types.
Data Type,
Complex
Complex data types are defined by the user with the data type declaration.
They do not have their own name and cannot be used more than once. A
distinction is made between arrays and structures. The data types String and
Date and Time also belong to this category.
Data Type,
Elementary
Elementary data types are predefined data types according to IEC 1131-3, for
example, the data type BOOL defines a binary variable (“bit”); the data type
INT defines a 16-bit fixed-point variable (integer).
Declaration
Section
The local data of a logic block are declared in the declaration section if the
program is generated using a text editor.
Glossary-2
From S5 to S7, Converter Manual
A5E00171227-01
Glossary
F
Formal Parameter
A formal parameter is a token value for the “actual parameter” of logic blocks
which can be assigned parameters. The formal parameters are declared by the
user in the case of function blocks and functions, but are already present in the
case of system function blocks and system functions.
When calling the block, an actual parameter is assigned to the formal
parameter so that the called block works with its current value. The formal
parameters are included amongst the local data of the block and are divided
into input, output, and I/O parameters.
Function (FC)
According to the International Electrotechnical Commission’s IEC 1131–3
standard, functions are logic blocks that do not reference an instance data
block, meaning they do not have a ’memory’. A function allows you to pass
parameters in the user program, which means they are suitable for
programming complex functions that are required frequently, for example,
calculations. As there is no memory available, the calculated values must be
processed immediately following the FC call.
Function Block
(FB)
According to the International Electrotechnical Commission’s IEC 1131–3
standard, function blocks are logic blocks that reference an instance data block,
meaning they have static data. A function block allows you to pass parameters
in the user program, which means they are suitable for programming complex
functions that are required frequently, for example, control systems, operating
mode selection. As function blocks have a ’memory’ in the form of the
associated instance data block, its parameters (outputs, for example) can be
accessed at any time and any point in the user program.
I
I/O, Distributed
(DP)
The distributed I/O consists of analog and digital modules which are located at
a physical distance from the central rack. Characteristic of the distributed I/O
is the modular rack system whose aim it is to save connecting wires, thereby
saving costs by placing the I/O modules close to the process.
Instance
An “instance” is the call of a function block; an instance data block is
associated with this call.
Instance Data
Block
An instance data block stores the formal parameters and static data for function
blocks. An instance data block can be associated with a function block call or a
call hierarchy of function blocks.

Glossary
Instruction
An instruction is part of a STEP 7 statement and specifies what the processor
should do.
L
Local Data
Local data are data assigned to a logic block which are declared in its
declaration section or its variable declaration. They cover (depending on the
block): formal parameters, static data, temporary data.
Logic Block
In SIMATIC S7, a logic block is a block that contains part of the STEP 7 user
program. The other type of block is a data block which contains only data. The
following list shows the types of logic blocks:
• Organization block (OB)
• Function block (FB)
• Function (FC)
• System function block (SFB)
• System function (SFC)
M
Macro
A macro is a sequence of instructions which are combined into a mnemonic
call optimized for execution.
O
Online Help
STEP 7 enables you to display context-sensitive help on the screen while you
are working with the programming software.
Organization Block
(OB)
Organization blocks form the interface between the CPU operating system and
the user program. The sequence in which the user program should be
processed is laid down in the organization blocks.

Glossary
P
Pointer
A pointer is a variable which does not possess a particular value but the
address of another variable. With pointer instructions, the type on the right side
of the operator must correspond to the type on the left side.
Programming
Language
A programming language is used to create user programs and provides a
specific ’vocabulary’ for this purpose in the form of text instructions or graphic
elements. These instructions are entered by the user using an editor and
compiled into an executable user program.
Project
A project is a container for all objects in an automation task, independent of
the number of stations, modules, and how they are connected in a network.
R
Retentive
Data are called retentive if they have the same value after a power supply
failure as before the power supply failed. The data are backed up in two ways:
• Voltage backup
• Backup memory
S
S7 Program
An S7 program is a container for blocks, source files, and charts for S7
programmable modules which also contains the symbol table.
Shared Data
Shared data are data which can be accessed from any logic block (function
(FC), function block (FB), organization block (OB)). These are bit memory
(M), inputs (I), outputs (Q), timers (T), counters (C), and elements of data
blocks (DB). You can access shared data either absolutely or symbolically.
Statement
A statement is the smallest independent part of a user program created in a
textual language. It represents a command for the processor.
Statement List
(STL)
Statement List is a textual representation of the STEP 7 programming
language, similar to machine code.

Glossary
Symbol
A symbol is a name defined by the user, taking syntax rules into consideration.
This name can be used in programming and in operating and monitoring once
you have defined it (for example, as a variable, a data type, a jump label, or a
block).
Example: Address: I5.0, Data Type: BOOL, Symbol: Emer_Off_Switch
A distinction is made between shared symbols and block-specific symbols.
Shared symbols are available to all parts of the program, therefore the symbol
you assign must be unique for the whole user program. Block-specific symbols
are only recognized within the block for which they were assigned.
Symbol Table
A table used to assign symbols (or symbolic names) to addresses for shared
data and blocks.
Examples:
Emer_Off (Symbol), I1.7 (Address)
Controller (Symbol), SFB24 (Block)
V
Variable
Glossary-6
A variable defines an item of data with variable content which can be used in
the STEP 7 user program. A variable consists of an address and a data type,
and can be identified by means of a symbolic name.
