Memory card for S7-300 and ET 200
The Siemens 6ES7953-8LM31-0AA0 is a 4 Mbyte Flash-EPROM micro memory card (MMC) belonging to the S7-300 and ET 200 product family — it's the program and data storage for those PLC systems, not a general-purpose SD card. Rated for a minimum of 100 000 write/delete operations and 10 years of data retention after final programming, so it handles routine program updates and long-term recipe storage without wearing out prematurely on a production line.
The card is keyed to the slot orientation; it only inserts one way, so there's no risk of reversing polarity in a panel rebuild.
