Memory card
The following data are saved on the memory card:
● Logs
● Backups
● Recipes*
)
*
)
To save recipes on the memory card, select "\StorageCard SD\" as the path in WinCC.
You can use commercially available memory cards with the "SD(IO / HC)" or "MMC" format.
For data consistency reasons, Siemens recommends the use of the SIMATIC HMI Memory
Card as the memory card, see Accessories (Page 21).
Note
Data consistency
When the HMI device is switched off, consistency of the stored data is ensured only for the
SIMATIC HMI Memory Card ≥ 2 GB.
With commercially available memory cards, switching off the device may result in the loss of
saved data, for example, due to a power failure.
The consistency of data stored in archives is only guaranteed if you use RDB format.
System memory card
The system memory map is part of the service concept of the HMI devices. If you enable the
service concept, all data from the internal memory of the HMI device is transferred to the
system memory card. If the HMI device fails, you insert the system's memory card into the
replacement unit. This way you reduce your system downtimes to a minimum.
The system memory card is not visible in the user interface of the HMI device and it cannot
be used for data storage. In order for the HMI device to recognize the system memory card,
you have to insert the system memory card into the slot designed for it.
Note
Format of the system memory card
Only a SIMATIC HMI Memory Card ≥ 2 GB may be used as a system memory card. All other
memory cards are not recognized as system memory card by the HMI device.
