Setting the card type
You can use the SIMATIC memory card as a program card or as a firmware update card.
To set the card type, insert the SIMATIC memory card in the programming device's card
reader, and select the "SIMATIC Card Reader" folder in the project tree.
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 user program is transferred from the load memory to the
work memory and runs there. If the SIMATIC memory card with the user program is
removed, the CPU goes into STOP mode.
The following folder is created on the SIMATIC memory card: SIMATIC.S7
● Firmware update card
Firmware for the CPU, for a display and for I/O modules can be stored on a SIMATIC
memory card. It is thus possible to perform a firmware update with the help of a
specifically prepared SIMATIC memory card.
The following folder is created on the SIMATIC memory card: FWUPDATE.S7S
