Prerequisites and installation 1
Prerequisites
The following software must be installed on your computer or programming device:
● SIMATIC STEP 7-Micro/WIN V4.0 SP6 (or later)
● SIMATIC S7-200 to SIMATIC S7-1200 software conversion tool
● SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic V10.5 SP2 or SIMATIC STEP 7 (Basic or Professional) V11 SP2
(or a later release).
Note
Due to internal problems, the SIMATIC S7-200 to SIMATIC S7-1200 software conversion
tool V11 will not create a valid STEP 7 project using a STEP 7 V11 version before
STEP 7 (Basic or Professional) V11 SP2, (or a later release). If you violate this restriction,
then a project will be created that appears correct but will contain internal inconsistencies
that cannot be resolved.
Hardware recommendation: It is very helpful to use two monitors and open the Micro/Win
and Step 7 projects on separate monitors. This makes it easier to compare and correct the
program elements that are not converted.
The STEP 7-Micro/WIN program that you want to convert must have these properties:
● The program must have been created using SIMATIC programming mode. IEC
programming mode is not supported.
● The program must have been saved in LAD (ladder editor) format.
● The program must compile with no errors.
● All user-defined password block protection must have been removed from the
STEP 7-Micro/WIN program. Remove the password protection from the main routine,
subroutines, interrupt routines, and all data pages in the data block. Any program block
that is password protected will not be converted.
Note
If a STEP 7-Micro/Win wizard has generated and protected program blocks, then the
block protection cannot be removed and these program blocks are not converted.

Manual, 11/2011 5
Prerequisites and installation
Install the converter software

1. STEP 7 (V10.5 SP2 or V11) and STEP 7-Micro/WIN V4.0 SP6 (or later) must already be
installed or your computer or programming device. The STEP 7 application must be
closed to update the project menu.
2. Uninstall any version of the SIMATIC S7-200 to SIMATIC S7-1200 software conversion
tool that is already installed.
3. Double-click the setup.exe file that installs the SIMATIC S7-200 to SIMATIC S7-1200
software conversion tool. You can run the setup.exe file from any directory.
4. Start STEP 7 and the new command "Convert S7-200 Project" should appear in the
"Project" menu.

2.2.1 Common V memory problem you can fix before conversion

If the Micro/WIN program compiles with no errors, then the converter tool will convert this
program. However, there are symbolic definitions allowed in Micro/WIN that are not allowed
in STEP 7. The program elements that are not allowed are not converted. They must be
corrected later in the STEP 7 program.
You may want to modify the Micro/WIN program to avoid the common problem described
below and recompile before performing the conversion. This reduces the effort required to
correct the converted STEP 7 program.
Overlapping V memory definitions

Program references to overlapping addresses in V memory are partially converted (for
example, if VB10 and VW10 are used in the project). Only the smaller sized data elements
are put in the converted DB1 data block. The other overlapping address references are not
converted. If there is M memory available, then consider changing the overlapping
addresses to M memory which supports overlapping addresses.
Note
Possible loss of initialization values in the conversion of overlapped V memory definitions
Overlapping addresses typically occur when smaller memory definitions like bits are given
symbol names and are initialized in the Data block editor using a larger memory size (like a
DWORD) to initialize all the bits at once. In cases of overlapping definitions, the smaller data
sizes are retained and larger data sizes are discarded. This minimizes the loss of symbolic
definitions from the original program. Due to the discarding of the larger data sizes, those
initialization data values are discarded along with the data declaration itself.

8 Manual, 11/2011
2.2.2 Common V memory problem you can fix after conversion

The conversion process converts Micro/WIN program V memory references to a single
STEP 7 DB1 (data block 1). Differences in programming methods for S7-200 V memory and
a S7-1200 data block will cause the common conversion problem described below. You
must correct this problem in the STEP 7 program, after the program is converted.
HMI panels and retentive data

HMI panels and retentive data: Make sure to consider the HMI panel while making any
changes to support the required retentive memory locations.
DB access types:
A "Standard" DB created with the (V11 "Standard" type selected) or (V10.5 SP2 "Symbolic
access only" type not selected) allows both symbolic and direct (absolute) addressing.
An "Optimized" DB created with the (V11 "Optimized" type selected) or (V10.5 SP2
"Symbolic access only" type selected) allows only symbolic addressing.
The S7-1200 DB1 created by the converter tool is a "Standard" DB whose data elements
can only be assigned with all elements retentive, or no elements retentive. This may force
you to create a second DB for the retentive memory.
If you are using a Basic Panel HMI in the same project, then you can change DB1 from a
"Standard" DB type to an "Optimized" (symbolic access only) DB type. The advantage is that
each data element in a "Optimized" DB type can be assigned as retentive or not retentive.
However, HMI projects created with WinCC Flex can only use the "Standard" DB type
(WinCC V11.0 Comfort or above does support "Optimized" DB access). A procedure to
change the DB access type is shown below.
1. Do not do the following DB access type conversion if you have changed the project to
access any DB location using only a direct address, are using the FieldRead/FieldWrite
instructions, or use an HMI panel programmed with WinCC Flex.
2. Create a temporary "Optimized" DB with the (V11 "Optimized" access type selected) or
(V10.5 SP2 "Symbolic access only" type selected).
3. In the converter generated "Standard" DB, select the first location in the upper left corner
of the table (just below the Static row in the STEP 7 DB editor).
4. Without moving the cursor box from the top left cell, move the mouse cursor to the
comment field of the last row in the table.
5. Hold down the shift key and click-select this location to select all visible columns.
6. Select the Static row in the temporary "Optimized" DB that you created and do a right-
click paste (this will not work if a blank row is selected).
7. Note the name and number of the original "Standard" DB then delete the whole DB.
8. Go to the property settings for the temporary "Optimized" DB (right-click the DB object in
the project tree and select properties) and then change the name and number to match
the "Standard" DB that you deleted.
9. Enter any initial value assignments that were not converted due to overlapping V memory
addresses. See the previous note for details.

comment text.
5. Start the import process by clicking the "Convert" button. When you click the "Convert"
button the field entries are verified before the conversion starts.

10 Manual, 11/2011
6. Complete the import process by clicking the "OK" button on the "Import completed" box.
7. Complete the conversion process by clicking the "OK" button on the "Conversion
Successful" box.
WARNING
Due to functional differences between the S7-200 and S7-1200, your user program may
not have been completely converted
An incomplete or improper conversion of your user program may cause unexpected
machine or process operation which could cause death, serious injury, or property
damage.
You must review and check the converted program to ensure proper and safe operation
in your application.

2.4 Rebuild all blocks and links between blocks
2.4 Rebuild all blocks and links between blocks

Update the blocks and links between blocks with the STEP 7 program compiler.
Use the mouse and right-click over the new "Unspecific CPU 1200" device in the Project
tree. Select the "Compile > Software (rebuild all blocks)" item from the right-click menu.

12 Manual, 11/2011
2.5 Configure the S7-1200 CPU and I/O modules
Note
The converter tool does not configure the S7-1200 CPU and I/O modules.
Do not rename any tags until after you get the project to compile without errors. Otherwise,
the changes will only take effect in the blocks that are opened in the program editor. For
example, you want to change the tag "SM0_0" that the converter created to "Always_On".
When the project compiles without errors, the system automatically updates the modified tag
names in all the blocks for you.
● Use the STEP 7 Device configuration to either detect the configuration of the connected
S7-1200 system or specify the system components from the Hardware catalog. All S7-
200 programs are initially converted to the unspecified S7-1200 CPU type.
● S7-200 system Block CPU parameters and CPU status and control functions that are
programmed by SM memory addresses are not converted. You must set up the
corresponding S7-1200 CPU properties using STEP 7 Device configuration settings. CPU
options that your S7-1200 program will use must be properly configured, before your
program can access or operate those CPU options.
● It is also helpful to enable the System and Clock memory bits to replace the commonly
used SMB0 bits in your project. Use an M byte above MB32 so as to not conflict with the
M memory usage in the S7-200 project.
● If you are an OEM, then change the Startup mode from "Warm restart – Operating mode
before POWER OFF" to "Warm restart – RUN". Otherwise, if the CPU goes to stop
because of a program update from a memory cartridge or an error, you will have to
provide software to put the CPU back into Run mode.

2.6 Compare the program blocks in the original program and the converted program
2.6 Compare the program blocks in the original program and the
converted program
The purpose of the comparison is to identify the subroutines, interrupt routines, and data
block data that were converted.
● Open the original program in STEP 7-Micro/WIN and open the converted program in
STEP 7, at the same time. Compare the POU (Program Organizational Unit) block
structure of original S7-200 program with the converted STEP 7 program.
● Use the STEP 7-Micro/WIN Instruction tree and open the "Program Block" and "Data
Block" branches.
● Use the STEP 7 Project tree and open the "Project blocks" branch.
The subroutines, interrupt routines, and V memory data groups (data block tabs) created by
STEP 7-Micro/WIN wizards and library usage are protected and are not converted. Also
user-protected POUs or V memory tabs are not converted.
If S7-200 code blocks are not converted, then you must create substitute program logic in
the S7-1200 program. Unconverted code blocks and data block tabs (data groups) can
create undefined symbolic references in POU blocks that were successfully converted.
Undefined symbolic references must be resolved in the STEP 7 program.
For information about specific program logic instructions, see S7-200 LAD instruction
conversion (Page 29).

This includes subroutines, interrupt routines, V memory data, and symbol definitions. You
must create substitute program logic and program symbols.
2.7 Compare the symbols/tags in the original program and the

converted program
The purpose of the comparison is to identify the symbols that were completely converted,
partially converted, newly created, or not converted.
● Open the original program in STEP 7-Micro/WIN and open the converted program in
STEP 7, at the same time.
● Compare the STEP 7-Micro/WIN program symbols with the converted STEP 7 program
tags (symbolic references).
Global symbols
● STEP 7-Micro/Win global symbols are defined in the Symbol table.
● The converted STEP 7 global symbols (I, Q, and M memory only) are located in the PLC
Tag table or in data block DB1 (converted S7-200 V memory symbols).
Local symbols
● STEP 7-Micro/Win local symbols are defined in the Local variable tables of the main
routine, subroutines, and interrupt routines.
● The converted STEP 7 local symbols are defined in the Block interface table of the
corresponding OBs (Organizational blocks) and FCs (Functions).
Note
Do not rename any tags until after you get the project to compile without errors.
Otherwise, any changes will only take effect in the blocks that are opened in the program
editor. For example, you want to change the tag "SM0_0" that the converter created to
"Always_On". When the project compiles without errors, the system automatically
updates the modified tag names in all the blocks for you.

Program structure conversion 3
3.1 Program structure conversion overview
Table 3- 1 S7-200 program components that are converted
STEP 7-Micro/WIN S7-200 to S7-1200 software conversion tool action

Program structure
POU code blocks The original program block organization is preserved. All blocks that are convertible will
be converted whether or not any convertible code exists in a block. STEP 7-Micro/WIN
programs do not support the STEP 7 block type FB (function block) with an associated
DB (data block). Therefore, all STEP 7-Micro/WIN program blocks are converted to an
equivalent OB (organization block) or a FC (function).
Ladder networks STEP 7-Micro/WIN network numbering, titles, and comments are preserved. If there is
an empty network or complete network that cannot be converted, then an empty or
partially converted STEP 7 network is created.
Box instructions Box instruction placement is preserved. If a box instruction cannot be converted, then a
corresponding generic box is created as a place holder. If the box has more than one
power flow connection, then the additional power flow connections are left open for you
to connect.
Main routine The STEP 7-Micro/Win program Main POU is converted to the STEP 7 program cycle
OB1.
Subroutines STEP 7-Micro/WIN program SBR subroutines are converted to FC functions. FCs are
created with or without local parameters. FC local parameters appear in the block
interface table of the STEP 7 block editor and correspond to the local variable table
parameters of a STEP 7-Micro/WIN subroutine. The converted FC numbering is offset
by 1 compared to the S7-200 SBR number (SBR0 converts to FC1).
Interrupt routines STEP 7-Micro/WIN program INT (interrupt routines) are converted to hardware interrupt
OBs or cyclic interrupt OBs. The S7-200 interrupt attach (ATCH) and detach (DTCH)

System Block STEP 7-Micro/WIN System block parameters are not converted. You must use STEP 7
Device configuration to set up PLC system options.
Wizard code Program code blocks created by STEP 7-Micro/WIN wizards are not converted.
Library code STEP 7-Micro/WIN can use Siemens supplied libraries (USS protocol and Modbus
protocol) and user-defined libraries. Siemens supplied libraries are provided in STEP 7-
Micro/WIN *.mwl file form and are not converted. User-defined library *.mwl files are
created from user-created source program *.mwp files. The *.mwp library source
programs can be converted to STEP 7 programs and assigned as a global or project
library with the STEP 7 library functions.
Status Chart STEP 7-Micro/WIN Status charts are not converted. You must create a STEP 7 watch
table to monitor the run-time values of program variables.

Memory addresses are converted as defined in the following table. S7-200 I/O address
ranges are fixed by the CPU operating system. However, you can modify S7-1200 I/O
address ranges during CPU device configuration.
Therefore, the S7-1200 I/O addresses shown in the following table are example addresses
only.

STEP 7 does not allow symbolic access to overlapping data block
addresses. If the STEP 7-Micro/WIN Symbol table has groups of V
memory symbols with overlapping data addresses, then the symbol name
for the largest sized data element is put in the converted DB1 data block.
All other overlapping symbol references are discarded. You must assign
discarded symbol names to new DB1 addresses.

Analog value address conversion

S7-1200 analog addresses are set during the STEP 7 device configuration. These
addresses are configured as part of the analog I/O device configuration. Analog value
addressing in the S7-1200 uses I and Q memory addresses. The following table lists the
default address ranges that are assigned to analog values converted from a STEP 7-
Micro/WIN program. You must configure the S7-1200 analog I/O to use these addresses or
substitute other addresses.

3.3 Symbol table

STEP 7-Micro/WIN program symbols must be fully defined to be converted. This means that
both the symbol name and corresponding address must be valid.
STEP 7-Micro/WIN program symbols are converted as shown in the following tables.

Wizard generated symbols The generated code blocks and associated tag names are not
Library generated symbols converted.
You must make new program logic, tag names, and memory address
assignments.
3.4 Data block

STEP 7-Micro/WIN data block data is converted to a single STEP 7 global data block DB1.
The converted DB1 is the "Standard" DB type, where both symbolic and direct (absolute) DB
data addressing is possible. The STEP 7-Micro/WIN data block has tab sections which
selects a data group in the data block. All tabs that are unprotected will be converted into a
single STEP 7 data block DB1. Data block tabs that are password protected as "read only"
will not be converted. If a data block tab was generated and protected by a STEP 7-
Micro/WIN wizard, then you cannot remove the protection and the tab's data group is not
converted.
Symbol names for S7-200 V memory addresses as defined in the STEP 7-Micro/WIN
Symbol table are converted to data names in the S7-1200 DB1.
STEP 7-Micro/WIN allows the creation of symbols with overlapping V memory data
addresses. When a S7-200 symbol is assigned a four byte double word V memory address,
you can also create separate symbols for bit, byte, and word addresses contained within the
four bytes.
STEP 7 does not allow symbolic access to overlapping data block addresses. If the STEP 7-
Micro/WIN Symbol table has groups of V memory symbols with overlapping data addresses,
then the symbol name for the largest sized data element is put in the converted DB1 data
block. All other overlapping symbol references are discarded. You must assign discarded
symbol names to new DB1 addresses.
The STEP 7 data block supports an array data type (Array [lo..hi] of type).
Data arrays are created for S7-200 V memory data addresses where:
● No symbol name was assigned.
● There is a V memory address gap between symbolic declarations.

The extra byte is used to store the maximum string length.

The S7-200 interrupt attach (ATCH) and detach (DTCH) instructions are converted to
generic box instruction placeholders. You must enable S7-1200 interrupt events with the
CPU device configuration. Then, replace the generic box instructions with S7-1200 ATTACH
and DETACH instructions that use a configured interrupt event.
STEP 7-Micro/WIN program INT interrupt routines are converted to hardware interrupt OBs
or cyclic interrupt OBs, as shown in the following tables.

AS-i The current S7-1200 CPU does not support AS-i communication.
Data Log The data log function is supported in STEP 7 V11 as part of the Web server feature.
EM 241 Modem/ The modem and remote modem function are not supported from the S7-1200 RS-232 module.
Remote Modem STEP 7 V11 supports the TSAIE Teleservice adapter provides that several modem options. STEP
7 V11 also supports the CP-1242-7 GPRS wireless modem.
EM 253 Position The S7-1200 CPU does not support a position expansion module. The S7-1200 CPU position
function is supported as defined by the PLCopen standard. You must rewrite this program section
using the STEP 7 motion control technology instructions.
Ethernet The S7-1200 CPU does not support an Ethernet expansion module. However, you may convert the
module addressing configuration (IP, subnet, gateway). This address can be used as the default
address of the S7-1200 CPU Ethernet port.
High-Speed Counter The STEP 7-Micro/WIN HSC wizard generates unprotected (visible in the editor) interrupt routines
and associated code. You were required to add your own instructions within these interrupt
routines. The interrupt routines contain both wizard generated and manually added code. You must
replace the initialization instructions that use HSC SM memory. Replace the HSC, and HDEF
instructions with the corresponding S7-1200 CPU HSC device configuration and CTRL_HSC
instructions.
Internet STEP 7 V11 supports the S7-1200 built-in web server feature.
NETR /NETW PPI network communication instructions are replaced by Ethernet T-block (TSEND_C. TRCV_C)
peer-to-peer communication instructions.
PID S7-200 PID operation can be programmed directly with the PID instruction or indirectly through the
PID wizard. S7-1200 PID operation uses the PID technology object and the PID_Compact
instruction (for STEP 7 Basic V10.5 SP2 and V11) or the PID_3Step instruction (STEP 7 V11 only).
A S7-200 program call to a PIDx_INIT subroutine or a PID instruction must be replaced with the
equivalent S7-1200 nstructions. PID operating parameters are not converted and must be assigned
and initialized by you.
PTO/PWM A S7-200 program call to a PWMx_RUN subroutine is converted to the S7-1200 CTRL_PWM
instruction. You must assign new pulse control parameters and initialize the parameter values
within the converted program. Pulse generator operation parameters must be set in the STEP 7
PLC device configuration, before a program can use the pulse generators.
Recipe This feature is not supported in STEP 7 Basic V10.5 SP2 or V11.
Text Display The TD panels supported by the STEP 7-Micro/WIN text display wizard are not supported by the
S7-1200. You must rewrite this program section to operate a STEP 7 HMI Basic panel through an
Ethernet connection.
