How do you create the project data for the SMC so that you can download the project to the S7-1200/S7-1500 CPU even without STEP 7 (TIA Portal)?

With STEP 7 (TIA Portal) you have the option of generating the project data for the CPU modules of the S7-1200/S7-1500 also as files without downloading the project to a CPU or to a SIMATIC memory card.

Instructions
You can save these generated files on an SMC (SIMATIC Memory Card) and then download them to the CPU without STEP 7 (TIA Portal).
In this way you can also use the SIMATIC Automation Tool to download your project data to the CPU.
STEP 7 (TIA Portal) does not have to be installed on your PC to download the project data to the CPU.
You can send the files by e-mail, then copy them to the SMC and download them to the CPU without STEP 7 (TIA Portal) having to be installed on the recipient's computer.

If you download your project data to the CPU directly from the STEP 7 (TIA Portal), the data is stored automatically on the SMC slotted in the CPU. If necessary, you can copy the data from the card using a standard SD card reader.

You have the three options below to generate the online card data.
Option 1: Download configuration directly to the memory card
1. Slot the SMC in the card reader of your computer and open the Project Tree in STEP 7 (TIA Portal).
2. After the card reader has recognized the SMC in STEP 7 (TIA Portal), in the Project Tree under "Card Reader/USB Memory > Add User-defined Card Reader" you see the entry "SD Card > (G Smile

SIMATIC MC (Program)".
3. In the Project Tree you mark the CPU station, in our example "PLC_1 [CPU 1516-3 PN/DP]" as shown in Fig. 01.
4. Now drag-and-drop the station to the drive of your SIMATIC Memory Card "(G Smile

SIMATIC MC (Program)" and follow the instructions in the "Download" dialog.
5. After error-free compilation the project data is stored on the SMC as online card data. You can now slot the SMC in the CPU.

Option 2: Download configuration directly to a USB memory stick

1. Slot the USB memory stick in the USB port of your computer and open the Project Tree in STEP 7 (TIA Portal).
2. After the USB stick has been recognized in STEP 7 (TIA Portal), in the Project Tree under "Card Reader/USB Memory > USB DISK Pro USB Device" you see the entry "(F Smile

MK_Siemens [Program]".
3. In the Project Tree you mark the CPU station, in our example "PLC_1 [CPU 1516-3 PN/DP]" as shown in Fig. 02.
4. Now drag-and-drop the station to the drive of the USB stick "(F Smile

MK_Siemens [Program]" and follow the instructions in the "Download" dialog.
5. After error-free compilation the project data the file "S7_JOB.SYS" and the folder "SIMATIC.S7S" are on the USB stick.

Option 3: Download the configuration to a file folder of the computer
You can also store the online card data directly in a folder on your hard disk without having to go through the procedure with a memory card or USB stick. For this you must făurite the desired folder once as "User-defined Card Reader". Proceed as follows.
1. In the Project Tree you open the folder "Card Reader/USB memory".
2. Double-click "Add User-defined Card Reader". The "Search folder" dialog opens.
3. Navigate to the drive (drive D:, for example) on which you want to store the configurations and click the "Create new folder" button.
4. Assign a name ("Reader" in this example) and click OK.

5. The entry "Reader_1" is created in the "Card Reader/USB memory" folder and the selected folder "(D:\Reader)" specified under it. In the Project Tree you mark the CPU station, in this example "PLC_1 [CPU 1516-3 PN/DP]", as shown in Fig. 04.
6. Now drag-and-drop the station to the folder "(D:\Reader)" and follow the instructions in the "Download" dialog.

After error-free compilation STEP 7 (TIA Portal) stores the online card data in the folder "(D:\Reader)". The "S7_JOB.SYS" file and the "SIMATIC.S7S" folder, which contains the STEP 7 program, are stored there. You can send the "S7_JOB.SYS" file and the "SIMATIC.S7S" folder via e-mail and the recipient can transfer this online card data to an SMC. In this way the recipient can download the program to the CPU without having to have STEP 7 (TIA Portal) installed on his computer.

Note
In this entry the drive "G:" has been specified for the memory card and driver "F:" for the USB stick. However, you can also use other drives.
