And also MMC placed in that CPU was corrupt ,and i came about that when i placed same MMC in new CPU with selector switch at STOP position ,then that particular CPU goes into system fault i.e. SF LED. Also i placed new MMC in that faulty CPU,it was not getting detected.

Hello,

Are you using "Siemens" MMC? Take a look at -

	Why is the MMC no longer recognized by SIMATIC devices after it has been formatted in a third-party device?
	With MMC (Micro Memory Card) slotted, why does the STOP LED blink on the SIMATIC S7-300 CPU?

You need to Format / Reset the MMC in the New CPU. Pl see the link below : http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/29801950 Regards Navnag
