Hi, I am trying to update my firmware for a S7-1200 PLC. I have attached a page from the update manual. I have a 24MB Siemens Simatic memory card (6ES7954-8LF00-0AA0) needed for this update. I got this card with the S7-1200. This card will not fit into the card reader on my Simatic Field PG M. Can these cards be put into ANY card reader? Is there a risk of damaging the card by using 3rd party operating systems/drivers? On a separate topic: Does anyone know if the S7-1200 can be used with Sinaut products for a remote telemetry solution? Similar to the S7-200 set up? Thanks.

The S7-1200 memory card needs to be read in a standard SD/MMC card reader. You cannot use the Field PG card reader. |

Hi, Sounds like a wish to me. Why don't you ask this as a support request? If you have a FieldPG you should be able to use all the features of a Siemens PLC. At least that is where you paid for! |

An SD card is a little thicker than a MMC card. The PG can only read a MMC card. An USB SD card reader is only ten bucks. |

Hi All, Siemens introduced a solution for this, now there is a SIMATIC Memory Card (SMC) Reader Now Available as Accessory for Field PG M2. It is a SD Card reader in a PCMCIA-card housing. "Field PGs M2 ordered with pre-loaded SIMATIC software "09/2009" (order no. 6ES7713-.....-0..4) are supplied with a SMC Card Reader. Users with earlier Field PG M2 editions can order the SMC Card Reader as accessory under the order no. 6ES7790-2AA00-0AA0." |
