Note 
Cyclic write access to the internal memory is not allowed 
Cyclic write access to internal memory is not allowed, because this reduces the service life 
of internal memory and of the HMI device. 
To prolong the service life of your device, you should preferably use external memory cards 
to store and log data, for example the SIMATIC HMI Memory Card. 
 
 
Note 
Number of allowed files in the root directory of the internal memory 
The number of files in the root directory is limited to 256. The number of files is not limited in 
the subdirectories of the internal memory.
