Thanks a lot for your support. I compared S5 and S7 programs line by line and it seems you have got a magic wand :)

However, I have following confusions. If somebody can help, It will be easier for me to understand the working of existing S5 program and I can trouble shoot S7 program during commissioning.

1.  In following S5 code, what does " L KS A@" means? It looks like it means that program will compare input word which can be either 'A' or 'P'. If input is 'A', program control will move to M001. Am I correct? What does "DKS" mean while declaring variables in S5?

2. When S5 code is converted to S7,  using "S5 Converting Files" tool, following is the result. Why the addresses are changed while conversion (the bold addresses) ? Do I need to change them again or I can continue using new addresses?

Dear Muzzammil,

Regarding your queries:

1.  In following S5 code, what does " L KS A@" means? It looks like it means that program will compare input word which can be either 'A' or 'P'. If input is 'A', program control will move to M001. Am I correct? What does "DKS" mean while declaring variables in S5?

DECL: A/P       DKS

LW              =A/P

L                 KS A@

!=F

JC              =M001

KS is the constant format (2 characters in ASCII format) in S5.

A/P is declared as an input data word with the 2 ASCII character format. Here is the explanation of your code:

S5 uses word addressing while S7 uses byte addressing, i.e. in S5 words are numbered in a series but in S7 bytes are numbered.

• So in S5 you had DW0, DW1, DW2, ... where each word had two bytes.
• And in S7 you have DW0, DW2, DW4, ... where each word has two bytes.

S5 to S7 Convertor tool takes care of it so no need to bother. You may find this thread useful. Pay attention to Navnag's comment.
