All, I have reviewed the contents of this thread and appreciate all that is shared. It would seem that what I need to do is a simple thing, but since I am putting my existing application at risk, I am looking for some validation or assurance that I'm not getting ready to cause a problem. I wish to copy the contents of each of my existing programmed memory cards that are currently installed in my FM modules to new memory cards for the purpose of having backups. I have a Siemens Field PG, with installed card reader, Step 7 V5.5 and exact replacement part numbers to my existing mmc(s). I believe I should be able to do the following to copy these correctly: Power off my S7-400 PLC and associated FM modules. Remove one mmc from my FM module. Insert that mmc into the Siemens Field PG. Open Simatic Manager Create an empty "dummy" project to work in. Insert an S7 Program, so that I have a place to put the contents from the mmc. Using the IC/MMC icon, open and access the contents of the mmc that was removed from the FM. Copy the contents of the mmc to my clipboard. Paste the contents of the the clipboard into the S7 program "Blocks" folder. Close the S7 Memory Card access window. Remove the programmed mmc from the Siemens Field PG. Insert the new (unprogrammed) mmc into the Siemens Field PG. Using the IC/MMC icon, open and access the contents of the empty mmc. Copy the contents of the "dummy" project Blocks folder onto my clipboard. Paste the contents of my clipboard onto the empty S7 memory card (mmc). To test this, simply power up my PLC and FM module with the newly programmed mmc inserted. Could it be this simple? Please advise. And thanks in advance for your help.

How did your copy / clone work out? Apparently you do not have the source code, for these projects? |
