Hi again. That CPU is the old style with battery backup and MC flash card. An MC card is a flash card in the style of a short PCMCIA card. If there is an MC card in the PLC, then try to use the function "Store user program on memory card". If there is no MC card, then you need a backup battery. In a real-world application, you would install both an MC card and a backup battery. edit: Scratch that. The 312 IFM is an odd beast in the Siemens inventory. It has neither an MC card slot or a battery slot. It only has internal Flash memory. So I think you must use the function in STEP7, "store user program on memory card" or the function "Copy RAM to ROM". The 312 IFM is obsolete, so maybe you should replace it with something else.

"Copy RAM to ROM" Now is ok. Thank you
