If you have defined your user page as the home page of the Web server, direct access to the
service data by inputting the IP address of the CPU is not possible. For more information on
reading out service data via a user-defined page, refer to the Web server
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/59193560) function manual.
Procedure using STEP 7
A description of how to save service data is available under the keyword "Save service data"
in STEP 7 online help.
Procedure via the SIMATIC memory card
Use the SIMATIC memory card to read out the service data only if you are no longer able to
communicate with the CPU via Ethernet. In all other cases it is preferable to read out the
service data via the Web server or STEP 7.
The procedure using the SIMATIC memory card is more time-consuming than the other
options for reading out the service data. You must also ensure before reading out that there
is sufficient memory space on the SIMATIC memory card.
To read service data using the SIMATIC memory card, follow these steps:
1. Insert the SIMATIC memory card into the card reader of your PC / programming device.
2. Open the job file S7_JOB.S7S in an editor.
3. Overwrite the entry PROGRAM with the string DUMP in the editor.
To ensure that the file size is exactly 4 bytes, do not use any spaces/line
breaks/quotation marks.
4. Save the file under the existing file name.
