Siemens has phased the S7-300 out of its new product range, and the S7-1500 is now the recommended path forward. Spares for older S7-300 hardware will only get scarcer and more expensive. Migrating on your own terms beats scrambling after a failure.

Bubble Automation delivers S7-300 to S7-1500 migrations from start to finish. We review the existing system, plan the hardware changes and convert the program into TIA Portal. Where old STL code would be hard to maintain, we can rewrite sections in clearer languages such as Ladder or SCL.

The S7-1500 brings real benefits. Faster processing, built in diagnostics, integrated motion control, better security and Safety Integrated options with an F-CPU. It also opens the door to modern HMI and SCADA, including WinCC Unified, and to getting plant data securely onto the cloud.

We test the converted program before we arrive on site, using simulation where it helps, so the switchover is quick and controlled. Then we commission o
