Removing/Inserting A Simatic Memory Card On The Cpu - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 System Manual

10.3.1

Removing/inserting a SIMATIC memory card on the CPU

Requirements
The CPU only supports pre-formatted SIMATIC memory cards. If applicable, delete all
previously stored data before using the SIMATIC memory card. Additional information about
deleting the contents of the SIMATIC memory card can be found in the section, SIMATIC
memory card - overview (Page 167).
In order to work with the SIMATIC memory card, first ensure that the SIMATIC memory card
is not write-protected. For this purpose, slide the slider on the SIMATIC memory card out of
the lock position.
If the inserted SIMATIC memory card is write-protected, the CPU display outputs the
symbol in the "Memory card" menu under "Overview" and writes a corresponding alarm to
the lower level of the menu.
Inserting the SIMATIC memory card
To insert a SIMATIC memory card, follow these steps:
1. Open the front cover of the CPU.
2. Ensure that the CPU is either switched off, or in the STOP mode.
3. Insert the SIMATIC memory card, as depicted on the CPU, into the slot for the SIMATIC
memory card.
Figure 10-1
4. Insert the SIMATIC memory card with light pressure into the CPU, until the SIMATIC
memory card latches.
