S7-300 to S7-1500 — what you keep in the DB and what you rewrite

SiemensField note

The question

Migrating a 315-2 PN/DP to a 1516. TIA migration tool ran. Symbolic is a mess. Do you keep instance DBs and only fix the hardware, or do you take the pain and rebuild the interface to the HMI once?

TS ControlsThe answer

Keep the logic that is proven. Rebuild the HMI interface once with a clean UDT. Absolute addresses that WinCC still pokes will haunt you. We do this on-site nationwide — sales@ts-controls.com if you want a second set of eyes before the cutover weekend.
