11.3 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 as follows from the project tree (STEP 7) to the
SIMATIC memory card:
● Individual blocks (multiple selection possible)
In this case a consistent transfer is available, i.e. the dependencies between blocks due
to block calls are taken 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.
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 via SIMATIC memory card
You can find information on how to perform a firmware update via SIMATIC memory card in
the Firmware update (Page 122) section.
