Note
Supported file/directory names and hierarchy levels on the SIMATIC Memory Card
The following rules apply to file names, directory names and hierarchy levels on the
SIMATIC Memory Card:
• Do not use any umlauts (ö, ä, ü, Ö, Ä, Ü) in file and/or directory names.
• Use a maximum of 60 characters for file and/or directory names.
• Use a maximum of 6 hierarchy levels for the directory structure of the SIMATIC Memory
Card (e.g: /mountpoint/1/2/3/4/5/6/file.txt).
The operating system of the CPU supports directories of no more than 8 levels, where
one level is reserved for the mount point and one for the actual file.
Using the serial number for copy protection
You can set up copy protection for CPUs that binds execution of the block to a specific
SIMATIC Memory Card. Configuration is carried out in STEP 7 in the properties of the block
"Bind to serial number of the SIMATIC Memory Card".
You can then only execute the block if it is on the SIMATIC Memory Card with the specified
serial number (see Copy protection (Page 179)).
