setting password for memory card CF

ChristophD

Hello,

whats exactly for you the difference between the Copy and the Backup?
For SIMOTION you must use a Siemens CF Card, this card have a specialbootloader for SIMOTION, a valid serialnumber for licences etc..
Another non Siemens CF Card can't work correctly in the SIMOTION PLC and you can lost your warranty.

So if you CF Card is damaged you order a new one from Siemens and copy the savedcontent of the old card to the new card.
There is no extra software to backup a cf card, first problem is that the mainline backupSW (Acronis, Ghost etc.) can't handle a CF Card in aUSB Reader so you must have a controller in your pc which
handle the CF like a HDD, or you modify your Windows so that each USB Storage device is handled like a HDD an then you can use each "normal" backupSW for you Task.
