Hi DCHARTIER, 

I was searching through the forum regarding my problem and ultimately found this thread, my problem is the reverse process means to convert the WinAC program either S7-400 or S7-300 is it possible? If so than please help me I would be grateful to you.

Regards.

Hello MFeddema;

Conversion efforts should be minimal, mainly addressing of IO (thereare only distributed Profibus-DP IO racks with a PC-based controller).
From the S7 Controllers brochure (dowloadable here):
https://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/infocenter/content/en/Pages/order_form.aspx?nodeKey=key_3110757&infotype=3
Use of SIMATIC know-how
WinAC RTX is programmed with the usual SIMATIC programming tools – with STEP 7 or, if required, also with the fieldproven engineering tools, such as the IEC 61131-3-compliant languages S7-SCL or S7-GRAPH.
WinAC RTX is code-compatible with SIMATIC S7, i.e. program sections created for SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 can continue to be used in WinAC RTX and vice versa.
Existing investments in software are thus protected. In conjunction with the familiar and field-proven configuring using STEP 7, accumulatedSIMATIC know-how can be used extremely well with WinAC RTX.

For more information see this Siemens Industry Mall presentation of the Siemens PC-based controllers:

Hope this helps,

Split from Converting S7-400 program to WinAC.

Hello venom;

The important part of the quote you used is the one that mentions "and vice-versa".

I suggest you look up the different threads on the same subject that have been exchanged on the forum over the years. The consensus is: Code produced for the WinAC platform can be reused with a S7 platform. You will even find Application notes that show how to migrate a WinAC project to a S7-1500.

I would start this by creating a new project, creating a hardware configuration that matches the WinAC CPU (a CPU S7-400 would be best, as it is in the same range). Then copy the program blocks from the WinAC folder to the new project. Adjust all communication addresses and parameters in Netpro, validate the Profibus/Profinet addresses of the new master and all existing slaves...

Then... prepare to test. Nothing happens without a bit of trouble.

Hope this helps,

Daniel Chartier

Dear Sir,

Fortunately I converted as you mentioned and it successfully worked and communicate with other Profibus nodes but there is still a problem and for that I am attaching the image the thing is that HMI made on a software and it was communicating with the slot cpu when I looked into the program it mentioned that MPI 21 address now in this condition when I try to communicate with CP5611 MPI card which I installed in the PC to communicate with the HMI it showed the message connection failed on the HMI message screen. Prior to that it was working fine and didn't showed this message instead of that showed the alarm of PLC whatever at that time.

You can see the other station in the attachment.

Kindly guide me at your earliest, your prompt reply in this regards shall be highly appreciable.

Regards.

Hello venom;

Is the missing connection to the ACROPOVIS station (# 21) in your Netpro screencapture?

If so it would seem you need to recreate the connection manually.

If you have little experience doing this operation, please read the section on Connections in the following manual:

CPU-CPU communication with SIMATIC controllers (compendium)
