The Siemens 6ES7951-1AK00-0AA0 is a RAM memory card for the S7-300 programmable logic controller family, offering 1 Mbyte of volatile storage for program blocks and data. This is the short-design variant, intended as a spare part for existing S7-300 racks where the CPU uses an external memory card slot rather than integrated memory.
What the memory type means for your application
Because this is RAM (volatile memory), the card does not retain its contents when the CPU loses power or when it is removed. Program and data must be loaded from the engineering station (STEP 7) after every power cycle or card insertion. This is standard for S7-300 RAM cards — they are used for runtime execution, not for permanent backup. If you need non-volatile storage for booting without a download, a Flash (FEPROM) memory card is the correct choice.
