I have a message ,during s5 to s7 conversion."NO xrf file available.blocks can not be stored according to their call".shown in the attached picture.
As i know xrf is cross refrence file of s5 program.
and i want to know that will the imprper storage of blocks will make any trouble for me.
My conversion end without any warnings and errors.
when i am compiling the AWL file in the "sources" of Step7 i is creating a converted source file but i have no blocks automatically generated at the "blocks" of step7,rather i have to copy them from source file and make OB and FC.

Hi ahsan1820,

that message means that the converter can't find the x-ref of the s5 blocks in the s5d file.

Hence you will need Step5 to create the x-ref.

Good luck

Hi ahsan1820,

you open your project using Step5 (V6.x or V7.x) and then open any of the blocks. I usually try OB1 which is the base of nearly every project, so i miss all the fun of searching blocks.

After opening this block you'll see a F-key "x-ref", press it, a new menue of function keys opens including "create x-ref" or "generate" or something similar. (Sorry i just have to depend on memory, there's no system available to me currently). Now press f-key "vreate x-ref", wait a minute for the system to be done, and you got the x-ref the converter is needing to get its job done.

You just need to leave the block unchanged (best advice use ESC), leave the S5 project and close Step5.

Good luck
