I tried but HWis giving some error but there is no BLOCKS. What may be the problem ? Well, the problem is that Step 7 is not backwards-compatible it seems, with different service packs. Would upgrading your version of Step 7 to SP5 be a solution? http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/36184684 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier

I tried but HWis giving some error but there is no BLOCKS. What may be the problem ? Hello, For sure Daniel' suggestion would do the trick. Of course after installation of SP5 update HW catalog.(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/22374877). The reason for this error (BTW what are the errors which you received) could be missing hardware in HW catalog in Step7 because of "uncompatible" with existing SP2. Best regards, Hristo Mihalev
