e often receive questions about uploading a project from a controller to the programming device in relation to

the different versions of the TIA Portal and STEP 7.

In general, you need to know with which version of STEP 7/TIA Portal the project was created and loaded on
the controller. The same version must then be used to load the project from the CPU to the programming
device. Only then can the project be upgraded.

A concrete example:

A project was created and loaded with STEP 7/TIA Portal V14 on an S7 1500. The project cannot be loaded
from the CPU to the programming device with the current version STEP 7/TIA Portal V17. You must therefore
load the project from the controller to the programming device with STEP7/TIA Portal V14 and then, if desired,
you can create it with the STEP 7/TIA Portal V17.

Supplementary FAQ's from the SIOS Portal

In STEP7 (TIA Portal), how do you load the "Program Blocks" with the PLC tags and PLC data types from the
CPU into the programming device?
What options are available in STEP 7 (TIA Portal) for uploading when project version in the CPU no longer
matches the version on your PG/PC?

How do you do a program upload in STEP 7 (TIA Portal) V12 when the device has been configured with STEP
7 V11?

In STEP7 (TIA Portal) V13 SP1, how do you load project data from a device that has been configured with
STEP 7 (TIA Portal) V12 SP1 or V13?
