Using the serial number for copy protection
You can set up copy protection for CPUs that binds execution of the block to a specific
SIMATIC memory card. You can then only execute the block if it is on the SIMATIC memory
card with the specified serial number.
Note
Redundant system S7-1500R/H
The copy protection function is not supported by the CPUs of the redundant system
S7-1500R/H.
You can find additional information about copy protection in the following manuals:

Removing a SIMATIC memory card from the CPU
Only remove the SIMATIC memory card in POWER OFF or STOP of the CPU. Ensure that
no writing functions (online functions with the programming device, e.g. loading/deleting a
block, test functions) are active in STOP or were active before POWER OFF.
If you remove the SIMATIC memory card during a write operation, the following problems
can occur:
● The data content of a file is incomplete.
● The file is no longer readable, or no longer exists.
● The entire data content is corrupted.
Inserting the SIMATIC memory card in the CPU in STOP state triggers a re-evaluation of the
SIMATIC memory card. The CPU compares the content of the configuration on the SIMATIC
memory card with the backed-up retentive data. If the backed-up retentive data matches the
data of the configuration on the SIMATIC memory card, the retentive data is retained. If the
data differs, the CPU automatically performs a memory reset. A memory reset deletes the
retentive data on the CPU. After the memory reset, the CPU goes to STOP.
With regard to removal of the SIMATIC memory card, note also the following FAQ on the
Internet (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/59457183).
Note
Using the SIMATIC memory card as a firmware update card
If you use the SIMATIC memory card as a firmware update card, removing and inserting the
card will not result in the loss of retentive data.
