Technical Dossier
The Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 Memory Card series is a standardized non-volatile storage solution designed exclusively for use with SIMATIC S7-300 programmable logic controllers. These cards store user programs, data blocks, and firmware images in a format that survives power loss without battery backup. Deployed across global heavy industry — including petrochemical complexes, nuclear auxiliary systems, offshore platforms, and continuous-process refineries — the S7-300 CPU relies on these cards as the primary program carrier. Installed base estimates place the S7-300 platform at tens of millions of I/O points worldwide, making the Memory Card one of the highest-demand spare components in industrial MRO procurement.
The S7-300 Memory Card architecture has passed through three distinct generations since the platform's commercial introduction in the mid-1990s. The first generation used Flash EPROM cards in a proprietary form factor, requiring a dedicated programming device (PG/PC with MPI adapter) for write operations. Capacity was limited to 64 KB and 256 KB variants, sufficient for the ladder-logic programs typical of that era.
The second generation, introduced alongside the S7-300 CPU 31xC family in the early 2000s, expanded capacity to 2 MB and 4 MB and introduced the ability to store S7 programs, data, and recipe files simultaneously. The physical connector remained backward-compatible with first-generation CPUs, preserving installed-base investment.
The third and current generation extended capacity to 8 MB (6ES7951-0KG00-0AA0) and introduced improved write-cycle endurance ratings. These cards are compatible with all S7-300 CPUs from CPU 312 through CPU 319-3 PN/DP. As Siemens has formally announced the S7-300 platform end-of-sale, the Memory Card series has entered its lifecycle maintenance phase. No new hardware revisions are planned; long-term support is provided through authorized spare-parts channels and third-party MRO suppliers such as DriveKNMS.
The following SKUs represent the verified, commercially available and historically shipped models within the SIMATIC S7-300 Memory Card family. Each entry reflects the card's storage capacity and primary application context.
