Hello,

For a project I'm working on now I need a softwaretool to convert the S7 real format to the S5 real format, I know thah there is tool
See below, but mayby someone has written software which he likes to share.

See siemens automation site ID25629271
http://support.automation.siemens.com/W ... n/25629271
but is not free

Converting floating point numbers between the S7 and S5 format
Since the S7 real format differs from the S5 floating point format, it is not possible without conversion to adopt the formats into the respective other controller. Functions "S7ToS5-Floating" and "S5ToS7-Floating" are available for the conversion into the respective format.

Thanks in advance,

Jan.
