Migration of the project

5.2.1

Preparatory steps

Before the actual migration of the project can be carried out, some points have to
be checked and, if required, changed.
Note
A migration of the project is only possible as of STEP 7 V5.4 SP5. However, you
can convert projects that have been created with an older version. To do this,
open the project with STEP 7 V5.4 SP5 or higher and perform a consistency
check of the blocks incl. compilation.

Step
1. Check whether the required software packages have been installed and licensed for STEP 7
V5.x or TIA Portal. See
2. Check the project structure of your STEP 7 V5.x project. Multi-projects cannot be migrated as
a whole. To do this, each individual project has to be used.
3. Check whether the project includes WinCC flexible or WinCC stations. If only the STEP 7 part
is to be migrated, you have to remove the other stations from the project.
4. Check whether the components included in the STEP 7 V5.x project can be migrated. To do
this, use the Readiness Check Tool.
Note: Modules/stations that are connected via GSD file can be migrated in any case, since
GSD files are automatically installed in the TIA Portal
