Use the serial number for copy protection
You can set up copy protection for CPUs which binds execution of the block to a specific
SIMATIC memory card. Configuration is carried out in STEP 7 in the properties of the block
"Bind to serial number of the SIMATIC memory card".
Users can only execute the block if it is on the SIMATIC memory card with the defined serial
number (see chapter Copy protection (Page 170)).
