Also where I got manual doc. related to replacement of S5 to S7 System. Any new S7-300 PLC will be faster than S5 115U and will have more memory and so on. So just look at the electrical drawings, count needed I/O and choose S7-300 which fits best. Despite the fact that there is some S5 to S7 program converter you can forget about using it. You will have lots of problems which will be needed to solve manually later. So I suggest to not to use any converter, but instead read S5 program and convert to S7 manually.

Yes I know that and was talking about that. In theory it's very nice, but try it in practice with complex program which uses networks, connections and other fancy stuff then you will see that S5 to S7 converter is not the tool you want to use.

Best regards,
Darius
