4. Save the service data locally on your PC/programming device, by clicking "Save
ServiceData".
Result: The data is saved in a .dmp file with the following naming convention: <Article
number> <Serial number> <Time stamp>.dmp". You can change the file name.
Note
If you have defined your user page as the home page of the Web server, direct access to the
service data by inputting the IP address of the CPU is not possible. For more information on
reading out service data via a user-defined page, refer to the Web server
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/64897128) function manual.
Procedure using STEP 7
You can find more information on saving service data with the keyword "Saving service data"
in the STEP 7 online help.
Procedure via the SIMATIC memory card
If you can no longer communicate with the CPU via Ethernet, use the SIMATIC memory card
only for reading the service data. In all other cases it is preferable to read out the service
data via the Web server or STEP 7.
The procedure using the SIMATIC memory card is more time-consuming than the other
options for reading out the service data. You must also ensure before reading out that there
is sufficient memory space on the SIMATIC memory card.
To read service data using the SIMATIC memory card, follow these steps:
1. Insert the SIMATIC memory card into the card reader of your PC / programming device.
2. Open the job file S7_JOB.S7S in an editor.
3. Overwrite the entry PROGRAM with the string DUMP in the editor.
To ensure that the file size is exactly 4 bytes, do not use any spaces/line
breaks/quotation marks.
4. Save the file under the existing file name.
5. Ensure that the SIMATIC memory card is not write protected and insert it in the card slot
of the CPU. Follow the procedure in section Inserting/replacing SIMATIC memory card
(Page 76).
Result: The CPU writes the service data file DUMP.S7S to the SIMATIC memory card and
remains in STOP mode.
Service data transfer is complete when the STOP LED stops flashing and is lit continuously.
If the transfer has been successful, only the STOP LED lights up.
In the event of errors in transfer, the STOP LED is lit continuously and the ERROR LED
flashes. The CPU also stores a text file with a note on the error that occurred in the
DUMP.S7S folder.
