Information

Function is guaranteed for memory cards and USB sticks tested and released by Siemens.
Siemens memory cards and USB sticks are available in Catalog ST80 in the chapter entitled "HMI Accessories".
MMCs can also be used on operator panels with SD slot.
The storage capacity of the memory cards and USB sticks might change with new products from the chip manufacturers.
MMCs for S7-300/400 controllers cannot be used on operator panels.
No difference between USB connections. There is no guarantee that "Storage Card USB" or "Storage Card USB2" will be assigned to a stick.

Assignment table for operator panels and associated interfaces
The operator panel assignment table and the associated interfaces are given in the PDF files attached. The assignment table also indicates which operator panels support USB sticks and in what capacity the storage media is supported.
