Use the serial number for copy protection
You can set up copy protection for CPUs which 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 only execute the block if it is on the SIMATIC memory card with the specified serial
number (see section Copy protection (Page 139)).
Removing the SIMATIC m emory c ard
Only remove the SIMATIC memory card in POWER OFF or STOP mode of the CPU. Ensure
that no writing functions (online functions with the programming device, e.g. loading/deleting
a block, test functions) are active in STOP mode or were active before POWER OFF.
If you remove the SIMATIC memory card during a write process, the following problems can
occur:
● The data content of a file is incomplete.
● The file is no longer readable, or no longer exists.
● The entire content of the card is corrupted.
Inserting the SIMATIC memory card in the CPU in STOP mode triggers a re-evaluation of
the SIMATIC memory card. The CPU hereby compares the content of the configuration on
the SIMATIC memory card with the backed-up retentive data. If the backed-up retentive data
matches the data of the configuration on the SIMATIC memory card, the retentive data is
retained. If the data differs, the CPU automatically performs a memory reset (which means
the retentive data is deleted) and then goes to STOP.
Also note the following FAQ on the Internet
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/59457183) in connection with the
removal of the SIMATIC memory card.
Removing the SIMATIC m emory c ard from Windows computers
If you are using the card in a commercially available card reader under Windows, use the
"Eject" function before you remove the card from the card reader. If you remove the card
without using the "Eject" function, you may lose data.
