Hello,

I have some FB and FC in my project in LAD and FBD language, Can i generate source file from them in any language (STL/SCL).

You MUST specify the PLC you are using.
(..and the software version too -- please -- in text body not just title)

+ Nothing can convert to SCL.

+ S7-300 and S7-400 can convert to STL

+ S7-1200 cannot convert

+ S7-1500 cannot convert, but it can read STL. Putting LAD/FBD in S7-300 project and the convert to STL with the purpose to import into the S7-1500; is sometimes an option.

+ Use libraries to store reuse code, other PLC elements and HMI elements.

As for libraries ->
+ View some helpful video links HERE in a recent topic.

+ I use this extensively to transfer small pieces of a design to my team at an installation site. The library files amount to 800kB where the whole project file is 70MB.

Thanks for the reply,

In S7-300 and S7-400 also i am unable to generate source file from LAD and FBD.

There is an in-between step to do first AFAIR..

Please change the language first before attempting to generate the source.

Hi #dP,

As per your comment i done everything, but it did not work, in FB/FC if a single network is in LAD/FBD then switch programming language is not working on that FB/FC and Generate source blocks is also not enable unless i delete all the LAD/FBD network from them.

That is unfortunate news. I am sorry to hear it.

Please - just for my own records:

1. Which firmware S7-1500 are your project using?
   
   
2. Which language is mixed in with LAD? SCL or STL?

Regards.

Hi #dP,

I am trying to generate source file in S7-300, CPU 315-2-DP V3.3, picture is also attached for your reference and 2 networks is created in FC, one is STL and another one is LAD.

Please create a code block that actually compiles without error. I doubt the export will work if the code block does not compile to start with.

1. Switch the code block to STL language. (compile without error)

2. Try export.

Hello #dP,

Thanks for your precious time, now my problem is solved,

I had need to compile the FB/FC after switch programming language from LAD to STL, In FB/FC unable to change the language from LAD to STL because more then one output in my LAD networks, when i changed my networks to one output per network then it will automatically changed to STL language and now generate source file function is also working,

Once again thanks a lot #dP.
