Setting the card type
Introduction
You can use the SIMATIC memory card as a program card or as a firmware update card.
Procedure
1. To set the card type, insert the SIMATIC memory card into the card reader of the
programming device.
2. Select the "SIMATIC Card Reader" folder in the project tree.
3. In the properties of the selected SIMATIC memory card, specify the card type:
●
Program card
You use a program card as an external load memory for the CPU. It contains the entire
user program for the CPU. The CPU transfers the user program from the load memory to
the work memory. The user program runs in the work memory. If you remove the
SIMATIC memory card with the user program, the CPU goes into STOP mode.
The following folder is created on the SIMATIC memory card: SIMATIC.S7
●
Firmware update card
You can save firmware for the CPU and for the modules on one SIMATIC memory card.
You can perform a firmware update with the help of a specially prepared SIMATIC
memory card.
The following folder is created on the SIMATIC memory card: FWUPDATE.S7S
