 Saving Programs
Uploading program 1. Create a new S7 program in the SIMATIC Manager
from the CPU to PG 2. Switch to the online view
3. Open the new S7 program and select Blocks folder
4. SIMATIC Manager  PLC  Upload

Upload station in PG • SIMATIC Manager  PLC  Upload Station

Load program from PG 1. Open two windows in the SIMATIC Manager:

to Memory Card... "Blocks folder of the S7 program" and "S7 Memory Card"
... inserted in PG/PC 2a. Use drag & drop to copy blocks to the "S7 Memory Card"
or
... Inserted in CPU 2b. SIMATIC Manager  PLC 
Download user program to Memory Card
Copy program
from CPU to
Memory Card • SIMATIC Manager  PLC  Copy RAM to ROM...
(only S7-300)
Project archiving 1. Select the CPU on whose Memory Card the project data
on Memory Card/MMC are to be saved
(S7-400, S7-300 after 10.02) 2. SIMATIC Manager  PLC  Save Project on Memory Card
Project archiving 1. SIMATIC Manager  File  Archive
on diskette 2. Select project to be archived
3. Specify name and storage path of the archive file and start function
4. In the Windows Explorer, copy archive file onto diskette
