If that is the case how do I format is to work in the S7-1500 PLC? I know I am also paying for reliability with a Siemens SD card - but if I were willing to risk it on less critical processes.

However, they are well known or readily available locally. Celio_Goetten Hello, It´s not possible because Siemens SD card have a special ROM inside.
