Thanks for this video. It is great also to have a video on how to select the right PLC (in terms of memory) based on the size of the project (# of I/O as well as complexity!). I highly appreciate!
Great... Helped me identify a low memory warning because I hadn't specified a memory card size in the resources tab for my ET200SP. This fault condition prevented program download so it must be set correctly especially for large programs. If none is specified then 4mB seems to be the assumed size. Thanks
Hi Philipp paus, I have one question, if size of the program is higher, why do we need to change PLC? We can add a memory card for the PLC 8MB or higher? I have one more question, when program downloaded to PLC, where do it store? Memory card or internal memory? If memory card remove, do PLC program work? As far, I have ordered Simatic memory card for all my projects. One tip, memory card should only format with PG or siemens card reader. If format with normal laptop can damage it.
I can answer your questions. You don't necessarily have to upgrade based on the size of the program, speed needed for your application is also a consideration. Each plc model has a different speed/bit and you can find that on the Siemens support site. On a 1500 the program is in the memory card, on a 1200 it is internal. If you remove the memory card from a 1200 everything is fine, but a 1500 goes into stop mode. 1 use of the Memory card on a 1200 is to transfer the program without using a pg (happens automatically on boot with a new plc)
if you remove the memory cards in S7300 and 1500 it will not work. for the memory cards, different sizes are there but there are limitations of course.
@@robreis22 So if I understand right, the 1200 cannot run from the memory card, but needs to load the program into its internal memory? Then Hegamurl is right about "If the program becomes too big, you need a larger 1200 PLC - not in the 1500 series, because 1500 runs from a memory card all ready).
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it too much. What about the process image and memory of the physical inputs and outputs? Are they in these categories?
Thank you for this video! Regarding Load Memory, should I understand that if we insert a memory card, then the program will be downloaded on the memory card by default? Is it still possible to select to be downloaded on PLC internal memory?
Exactly... Load Memory is in the Memory Card for the 1500. It won't work without. The 1500 always grabs the program from it's memory card and compiles it to the internal memory. The 1200 has the Load Memory integrated and does not need a memory card
@@jbn37 Yes. If your program becomes to large you can change your 1200 load memory to SMC/Card... that will give you the opportunity for bigger programs
Great Video, I have a question regarding the s7-1200, when I select one input as retain selects all the variables in the data block, is this normal or is there another setting that needs to be changed.
do you know anything about assignment list? I have a problem. If the variable falls into another column, the values start to be displayed incorrectly. DWORD has four positions at one address. In the left position, the data on the HMI is not displayed. How can this be corrected and why are they arranged differe
Onw thing Sir, a plc program can be in terms of Giga in your PC but how come that big code still goes into a small MMC? Example 1Gb plc code you wrote in your pc and get loaded into a 32Kb MMC . How to explain that?
can we find the plc CPU memory consumption after assigning many di/do/ai/ao cards to the plc without connecting the plc(hardware) online , in tia portal.???
#hegamurl so when you check the spec of a specific PLC for example one that says ● integrated (for program) 225 kbyte, ● integrated (for data) 1 Mbyte. I know that Load memory is linked to the size of the memory card. But what about all the memories you talk about? Which ones are "for program" and which ones "for data"
In our plant s7400 plc use After battery supply failure our downloaded program why need to download again When we make some modifications we download program but after battery failure it's not working need to download again
Gute Arbeit, mein Problem ist häufig einzuschätzen wieviel Zykluszeit das Programm brauchen wird. Kann man die Zykluszeit simulieren? Wenn du z.B. 40PN Teilnehmer hast Mit F-PLC wird es langsam echt schwer einzuschätzen welche CPU man benötigt und auch teuer und Zeitaufwendig wenn man daneben liegt, egal in welche Richtung. Hab mal ne neue Anlage gemacht mit damals der ersten f-cpu bei uns im Werk + komplett neues Programmstruktur. Am Ende hat die CPU gerade so gereicht, Zykluszeit war am Limit mit um die 50ms. Hab extra schon 2 Stufen höher gegriffen als unsere damaligen Standard CPU 314C war es dann eine 1516F.
I think you are only one putting different videos which are not already available on the internet.. keep going sir..

great explanation on a topic that is frequently misunderstood, nice clear explanation!

Super nice video, by the way it is important to know these information to work professionally,
Thanks for video.
Much appreciated.
Expect more videos.
You are doing great, keep up the good work, this is really helpful video for new learners

Glad I could help! Seems like a problem with TIA, if it automatically assumes a 4MB card... strange but always possible
Thanks you teacher

@@mortenlund1418 you have a choice. You can either run it from the memory card or choose to not.
@@mortenlund1418 but the size of the program on the card, cannot exceed the size of the internal memory of your PLC.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it too much.
What about the process image and memory of the physical inputs and outputs? Are they in these categories?
They are in a "special" memory called the "system memory". This one is not depending on the program you load, but only on the hardware you use
Awesome video tutorial, Would you make video about retain memory PLC, How to register data retain memory? thank you
Big thanks fot that explenation , very informative ;
Thank you so much
u r great dude.
What type of computer do you have? (Specs) Wow it runs portal fast!!!
It's windows base PC. one more thing for sure, its not cheap :)
Does different languages use different memory space for the same tasks. Eg. Lad vs. Scl?
Yes..

Sehr gut
Thanks!
It's possible to write 128 bit in epc memory & using plc s7 1200
your the best,,,
how can I fix that: Retentive data lost?????
It's possible to increase Dara-work memory and Retentive mempry?
No. You would have to get a stronger PLC for this
@@hegamurl7434 data blocks can be made retained and are stored on the memory card of a 1500.

can we find the plc CPU memory consumption after assigning many di/do/ai/ao cards to the plc without connecting the plc(hardware) online , in tia portal.???

Did you notice that after you increased the retained integers from 1 to 3 the data work memory went from 182 to 178 (six bytes less)?
hello! tell me please, can I expansion retain memory PLC s7 1200?
hello sir i m using TIA portal there is global memory data type

Hey can you do a video with indirect addressing
Great
Thanks sir
I am also wondering why it alocates 8 bytes to Data Memory when you defiened 5 Int...? It's pretty freacky :)
