Using EEPROMs for Program Storage SIMATIC 545/555/575 System Manual
7.1 Program Storage Options
You can download your program into a non-volatile, read-only memory chip
for additional program security. Program storage options include portable
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) or
Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (UV-erasable EPROM) chips
and permanent on-board EEPROMs.
The CPUs listed in Table 7-1 provide on-board, permanent, non-volatile
flash EEPROM memory for program storage. The program memory storage
capacities for each CPU are also listed.
The 575–2105 and 575–2106 CPUs provide only on-board program storage.
Table 7-1 Program Storage Capacities
CPU Model User Memory in RAM On-Board User Memory Capacity
545–1105 96 Kbytes 96 Kbytes
545–1106 192 Kbytes 192 Kbytes
555–1105 384 Kbytes 384 Kbytes
555–1106 1856 Kbytes 1790 Kbytes
575–2105 832 Kbytes 832 Kbytes
575–2106 1856 Kbytes 1790 Kbytes
All 545 and 555 CPUs offer the option of storing your application program
in non-volatile form, by means of portable dual in-line pin (DIP) EEPROM
or EPROM chips. (The 575 CPUs do not support this option.)
Table 7-2 lists the (E)EPROMS available for use with 545/555 CPUs.
Table 7-2 Program Storage Using (E)EPROM
Storage Type ROM Size Program Size Order Number
EEPROM 128 Kbytes 126 Kbytes 2587681–8022
EEPROM 256 Kbytes 254 Kbytes 2587681–8030
EPROM* 128 Kbytes 126 Kbytes 2587681–8023
EPROM* 256 Kbytes 254 Kbytes 2587681–8031
*The EPROM chips cannot be programmed on the CPU. You must use an EPROM copier to
copy your progam from an EEPROM to the EPROM chip.
