device configuration.
Note
Memory size of the SIMATIC memory card
If you perform a firmware update via the SIMATIC memory card, you must use a large enough
card based on the CPU used and the associated I/O modules.
Check the specified file sizes of the update files when downloading them from Siemens
Industry Online Support. The file size information is especially important when you perform
the firmware update not only for the CPU but also, e.g., for the associated I/O modules,
communication modules. The total size of the update files must not exceed the available
memory size of your SIMATIC memory card.
You can find more information on the capacity of SIMATIC Memory Cards in the section
Accessories/spare parts (Page 363) and in the function manual Structure and use of the CPU
memory (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/de/en/view/59193101).
