13.2 Reading out/saving service data
Procedure via the SIMATIC memory card
If Ethernet communication with the CPU is not possible, use the
SIMATIC memory card to read out the service data. In all other cases, read 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.
Do not use any spaces/line breaks/quotation marks to ensure that the file size is exactly
4 bytes.
4. Save the file under the existing file name.
5. Ensure that the SIMATIC memory card is not write-protected and insert the SIMATIC
memory card in the card slot of the CPU. Pay attention to the procedure described in
Removing/inserting the SIMATIC memory card on the CPU (Page 205).
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 service data transfer was successful, only the STOP LED lights up.
In the event of errors during the transfer, the STOP LED is lit continuously and the ERROR
LED flashes. The CPU also stores a text file with information on the error that occurred in the
DUMP.S7S folder.
