Identification And Maintenance Data; Reading Out And Entering I&M Data - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 System Manual

The S7-1500 CPUs support the storage of multilingual project texts in up to three different
project languages. If the project texts of a particular project language exceed the reserved
memory space nevertheless, the project cannot be downloaded to the CPU. The download is
aborted with a notice that not enough memory space is available. If this happens, take steps
to reduce the required memory space, e.g. shorten comments.

If the memory space needed for downloading projects exceeds the memory space on the
utilized SIMATIC memory card, the download to the CPU is aborted with an error message.
Ensure that your SIMATIC memory card has sufficient memory space for downloading
projects.
You can find information on reading out the memory usage of the CPU and the SIMATIC
memory card in the Structure and Use of the CPU Memory

You can find information on parameter assignment of multilingual project texts in STEP 7 in
the STEP 7 online help.

Identification and maintenance data

10.8.1 Reading out and entering I&M data
I&M data
Identification and maintenance data (I&M data) is data saved on the module as read-only
(I data) or read/write (M data) information.
Ident ification data (I&M0): Manufacturer information about the module that can only be read
and is in part also printed on the housing of the module, for example, article number and
serial number.
Maintenance data (I&M1, 2, 3): Plant-dependent information, e.g. installation location.
Maintenance data for the S7-1500/ET 200MP is created during configuration and
downloaded to the automation system/distributed I/O system.
All modules of the S7-1500/ET 200MP support identification data (I&M0 through I&M3).
The I&M identification data supports you in the following activities:
● Checking the plant configuration
● Locating hardware changes in a plant
● Correcting errors in a plant
Modules can be clearly identified online using the I&M identification data.
You can read out the identification data with STEP 7 (see online help for STEP 7).
