Data transfer with SIMATIC memory cards
Transferring objects from the project to a SIMATIC memory card
When the SIMATIC memory card is inserted into the programming device or into an external
card reader, you can transfer objects from the project tree (STEP 7) to the SIMATIC memory
card as follows:
● Individual blocks (multiple selection possible)
In this case, the transfer is consistent, i.e. the function takes dependencies between
blocks due to block calls into account.
● CPU folder
In this case, all runtime-relevant objects including blocks and the hardware configuration
are transferred onto the SIMATIC memory card - just as when downloading.
● Service data
In this case, the service data previously saved (see chapter Reading out/saving service
data (Page 265)) is transferred to the SIMATIC memory card.
To perform a transfer, you can transfer the objects by dragging and dropping, or use the
"Card Reader/USB memory > Write to memory card" command in the "Project" menu.
Firmware update using a SIMATIC memory card
You can find information on how to perform a firmware update using a SIMATIC memory
card in the section Firmware update (Page 245).
For additional information about the SIMATIC memory card, refer to the STEP 7 online help.
