I am using CPU315-2PN/DP CPU, with 128 K memory I have an S7-400 program which is having 1MB flash memory, Now I would need to make a similar program and in S7300, would anyone let me know if I can claculate how much memory I would need by looking at that program?

Because in S7-400 is separate memory for code and data, you need the total amount. Regards Sydney

Arunakat1 Posts: 217 Rating: (52)	Hello, After you finished your program. Select block folder and press alter+enter then you will go to "properties block folder offline". Then go to block tab and you can see user program memory in detail. So you can know, memory you are used with out downloading it to CPU. See the attachment. Best regards.

Don't you think it's little bit useless and makes the forum unclear? Regards Sydney

Don't you think it's little bit useless and makes the forum unclear? Regards Sydney Hello sydney, Yes I agree with you (not 100%). I didn’t read your post completely at once but I saw it after I post my answer that’s why I edit it and say, “it is the same way” as you said.(Every one make mistakes) Why I’m not agreeing 100% with you is, there was no feed back from who make the issue so we can suspect it is still unclear for him so we can give him more details. Until he says the problem was solved, we can write for the issue. Ultimately we should remember forum is for support people with our experience, who were in trouble. May be from one word. Best regards.
