6.7.3.4 Storing Project Data on a Micro Memory Card (MMC)
With STEP 7 you can store the data for your STEP 7 project as well as any other kind of data (such
as WORD or Excel files) on a SIMATIC Micro Memory Card (MMC) in a suitable CPU or a
programming device (PG)/PC. This allows you to access project data with programming devices
that do not have the project saved on them.
Requirements
You can only store project data on an MMC if it is inserted in the slot of a suitable CPU or a
programming device (PG)/PC and there is an online connection established.
Be sure that the MMC has enough capacity to accommodate all the data to be stored on it.
Data that can be stored on an MMC
After you have determined that the MMC has enough capacity to accommodate all the data to be
stored, you can transfer all data visible in the operating system's file explorer to the MMC. These
data can include the following:
• Complete project data for STEP 7
• Station configurations
• Symbol tables
• Blocks and sources
• Texts managed in many languages
• Any other kinds of data, such as WORD or Excel files
