description	Use when working with Siemens S7-200 SMART or STEP 7-Micro/WIN SMART V2.8 on Windows, especially to import or export active blocks, compile with keyboard shortcuts, verify output-window results, repair AWL encoding issues, or fix subroutine display-name mismatches such as call errors after import.

S7-200 SMART

Use this skill for STEP 7-Micro/WIN SMART V2.8 desktop automation on Windows.

Prefer attaching to an already-open MWSmart session instead of launching the software yourself.

Workflow

1. Run scripts/find_open_200smart_process.ps1 to locate the visible V2.8 window.
2. If the user needs a ready-made case, use the bundled AWL in assets/bag-pulse-dust-collector-4bags-ob1.awl.
3. If writing or editing AWL, keep it LAD-friendly:
   • wrap OB1 logic in ORGANIZATION_BLOCK OB1
   • keep one NETWORK to one rung or action
   • split independent MOV, TON, S, R, and output assignments into separate networks
4. For V2.8, prefer the verified keyboard flow:
   • Ctrl+F1 imports into the active block tab
   • Ctrl+F3 exports the active block tab
   • Ctrl+F6 compiles the project
5. Treat success as a combination of:
   • import or export output contains a success line
   • compile output contains zero errors
   • visible invalid network count is zero when LAD rendering matters
6. Do not save or overwrite the .smart project unless the user explicitly asks.
