About MWP files
The .MWP file extension predominantly serves as the project file format for STEP 7-Micro/WIN, the proprietary engineering software used to program Siemens S7-200 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). These files encapsulate the complete automation logic (Ladder, STL, FBD), symbol tables, and hardware configurations essential for industrial machine control. A significant limitation for engineers is that the S7-200 line is a legacy product; opening these files often requires maintaining outdated operating systems (like Windows XP) capable of running Micro/WIN. Consequently, data inside an .MWP file is inaccessible to modern web browsers or standard text editors. A secondary, distinct use case (approx. 1%) involves legacy documents from Lotus Word Pro. These outdated word processing files are incompatible with modern tools like Microsoft Word, trapping historical data. To bridge this gap, users should convert PLC projects to PDF for technical documentation and archiving, or convert Lotus files to DOCX or ODT for editing.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MWP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert MWP file to MW, TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PAGES, TEX, LATEX, MD, MARKDOWN or LOG, you can use STEP 7-Micro/WIN or similar software from the "PLC Automation Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert PDF, DOC, ASC, TODO, NFO, MEMO, README, DOCX, JPG, TXT, NOTE or RTF files to MWP, try STEP 7-Micro/WIN or another comparable tool in the "PLC Automation Project" category.
The MWP Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MWP converter.
