Memory s ize 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.
Therefore, be sure to note the file size of the update files when downloading them from the
Product Support website. The file size information is especially important when you perform
the firmware update not only for the CPU but also for the associated I/O modules,
communication modules, etc. The total size of the update files must not exceed the available
memory size of your SIMATIC memory card.
