With the STORE command the content of a SIMATIC app file can be stored into a SD card image which was created with TIA Portal.
The SD card image is created with two simple steps in TIA Portal:
- Define a Card Reader like in this example in the folder
D:\ws\tmp\SdCardImage. - Copy your PLC to the Card Reader.
Afterwards, you will find the folder SIMATIC.S7S in the folder of the SD card image:
Note
S7-PLCSIM Advanced cannot use SD card images created in this workflow as start-up. Create an instance always in the S7-PLCSIM Advanced UI and use the LOAD command for downloading the SIMATIC app file to PLCSIM instance.
