 Overview: Saving User Data
Uploading the program 1. Create a new S7 program in the SIMATIC® Manager
from the CPU to the 2. Switch to the online view
PG/PC (PLC copy) 3. Open the new S7 program and select the "Blocks" folder
4. SIMATIC® Manager -> PLC -> Upload
Upload Station in the PG/PC • SIMATIC® Manager ->PLC -> Upload Station
Load program from 1. Open two windows in the SIMATIC® Manager:
PG/PC to Memory Card... "Blocks folder of the S7 program" and "S7 Memory Card"
... inserted in PG / PC 2a. Use drag & drop to copy blocks to the "S7 Memory Card"
or
... inserted in CPU 2b. With the "Blocks" folder of an S7 program highlighted, select:
SIMATIC® Manager -> PLC -> Download user program to memory card
Copy program
from CPU to
Memory Card • SIMATIC® Manager -> PLC -> Copy RAM to ROM...
(only S7-300™)
Project archiving 1. Select the CPU on whose Memory Card the project data are to
on Memory Card be saved
(only S7-400™) 2. SIMATIC® Manager -> PLC -> Save Project on Memory Card
Project archiving 1. SIMATIC® Manager -> File -> Archive
on diskette 2. Select project to be archived
3. Specify name and storage path of the archive file and start function
4. In the Windows Explorer, copy the archive file onto diskette
