If you have any information on the process/machine you are controlling besides the original program, such as electrical drawings, P&IDs, instrument lists, I/O lists, you could at least rebuild the symbol file in the uploaded program, and possibly decypher the program enough to add some basic comments. It is possible now to add files to the memory card of the PLC, which could include the archived program. I doubt that this has been done in your case, but you might think of doing so in your future projects, just to make the next programmer's life easier... Hope this helps, Daniel chartier

Hope this helps, Daniel chartier Hello Daniel, Is there a way to save the archived program directly to the memory card of the CPU300 from PG via MPI? Thanks and regards, Ericson

When archiving your project and store it on the MMC, you have to take care of the size of MMC. It should be large enough. How can I find out the size of the MCC so I can store my whole STEP 7 project on it? Hope this helps.
