Use the serial number for copy protection
You can set up copy protection for CPUs which binds execution of the block to a specific
SIMATIC memory card. Configuration is carried out in STEP 7 in the properties of the block
"Bind to serial number of the SIMATIC memory card".
You can then only execute the block if it is on the SIMATIC memory card with the specified
serial number.
Removing the SIMATIC memory card
Only remove the SIMATIC memory card in the POWER OFF or STOP operating modes of
the CPU. Ensure that no writing functions (e.g. loading/deleting a block) are active in STOP
mode, or were active in POWER OFF mode. For this purpose, disconnect the
communication connections.
If you remove the SIMATIC memory card during a write process, the following problems can
occur:
● The data contents of a file are incomplete.
● The file is no longer readable, or no longer exists.
● The entire content of the card is corrupted.
Removing the SIMATIC memory card from the CPU in STOP, STARTUP or RUN mode
triggers a re-evaluation of the SIMATIC memory card. The CPU hereby 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 (which means the retentive data is deleted) and then goes to
STOP.
Removing the SIMATIC memory card from Windows computers
If you are using the card in a commercially available card reader under Windows, use the
"Eject" function before you remove the card from the card reader. If you remove the card
without using the "Eject" function, you may lose data.
