6ES7954-8LC04-0AA0 – SIMATIC S7 Memory Card 4 MB, for CPU S7-1200/1500, Siemens

6ES7954-8LC04-0AA0 is an original Siemens SIMATIC S7 memory card with a capacity of 4 MB, designed for CPUs of the S7-1200 series (including the G2 generation) and S7-1500.

The memory card serves as the CPU's load memory – it stores the entire project including comments and symbolic names, enables CPU firmware updates and serves as a so-called transfer card for replacing the CPU or transferring the program without connecting a computer.

Key advantages
Enables CPU replacement or program restoration without connecting TIA Portal.
Used for updating the CPU firmware S7-1200/S7-1500.
Stores the entire project including comments, symbolic names and program documentation.
Can be used as a program card (without a program stored in the CPU) or a transfer card (for a one-off transfer).
Technical specifications
Order number (MPN) 6ES7954-8LC04-0AA0
Manufacturer Siemens
Capacity 4 MB
Compatibility SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU (incl. G2) and S7-1500
Net weight 0.01 kg
Typical applications

Smaller capacities (4–24 MB) are fully sufficient for normal applications without extensive data archiving. Larger capacities (256 MB to 32 GB) are used when working with data logs, recipes or CPU web pages.

Which assembly it belongs to

The card belongs to an assembly with any SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU (including the G2 generation) or S7-1500. We recommend getting one for every CPU installed at a customer's site – it makes servicing easier without the need to carry a laptop with TIA Portal.

Quick start – replacing and using the card

1. Switch off the CPU supply (switch to STOP and disconnect the supply). 2. Open the memory card slot cover on the front of the CPU. 3. Insert the card in the correct orientation until it clicks into place. 4. Switch on the supply – the CPU automatically detects whether it is a program card, transfer card or firmware update. 5. Monitor the transfer status on the CPU LEDs or in TIA Portal (Online & diagnostics).

Frequently asked questions

How do I verify the right capacity?

Compare the order number 6ES7954-8LC04-0AA0 and the capacity of 4 MB with the requirements of your project (program size, number of recipes, data logging).

Is the card necessary for the CPU to run?

No, the CPU has its own internal memory for smaller projects. The card is only needed for larger projects, for firmware updates or when a transfer card is required.

Which capacity should I choose?

For normal machines without extensive data logging, 12–24 MB is enough. For data archiving, recipes or a web server with storage, choose 256 MB to 32 GB.

Is the card also compatible with older CPUs S7-1200?

Yes, this range of memory cards is common to CPUs S7-1200 (including the original generation and G2) and S7-1500.
