When I try to view these charts, I receive an error "Could not read hierarchy folder. Your PCS7 installation may be incomplete". I was able to view these charts previously by deleting all of the blocks in the blocks folder and recompiling. This method does not work so I may be forgetting a step. Any ideas? Thanks

We think you have a problem with the software which areincompable together. PCS7 V5.0 was compatble up to Windows NT4 SP6a and now you have installed STEP 7 V5.3 which is only compatible with Windows 2000 and XP. If youwork withSTEP 7 V5.3 together with CFC, you need: --> CFC V6.1, V6.0 or V5.2 under Windows 2000 or -->CFC V6.1 or V6.0 under Windows XP. Please see the home page of the SIMATIC customer support and find the follow FAQ which do you will find by the quoted Beitrags-ID: http://www.siemens.com/automation/csi_en/product FAQ: "Which versions of SIMATIC PCS 7 are compatible with which versions of the operating systems? BeitragsID: 2334224. With best regards Cicero

To view the CFCs in Step 7: create a new project, copy all of the blocks, NOT THE FOLDER, from the former PCS7 project. Paste these blocks into the block folder in the new project. Then, create a new CHARTS folder in the new project. You need to have CFC installed into step 7. Copy all of the charts, NOT THE FOLDER, from the former PCS7 project. Paste these charts into the chart folder of the new project. The CFCs can then be view in the step 7 project without any errors. [:)]
