Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the Siemens 6ES7953-8LF20-0AA0?
It is a SIMATIC S7 Micro Memory Card (MMC) with 64 KB capacity, using 3.3V N-Flash technology. It is designed for S7-300, C7, and ET 200 controllers to store program and configuration data.
Q2: Is this product still available from Siemens?
No. It was discontinued effective October 1, 2021 (PM500 status). It is available only through remaining stock, refurbished units, or third-party suppliers.
Q3: What is the successor model?
The designated successor is 6ES7953-8LF31-0AA0, which has the same 64 KB capacity and compatibility but a smaller physical form factor (0.017 kg vs. 0.030 kg).
Q4: Which systems is this memory card compatible with?
It is compatible with SIMATIC S7-300, C7, and ET 200 series controllers. It is not compatible with S7-1200 or S7-1500 systems, which use different memory card formats.
Q5: What is the memory technology used?
It uses 3.3V N-Flash technology, which is non-volatile and retains data without a backup battery.
Q6: What is the write/erase endurance of this card?
The minimum rated endurance is 100,000 write/erase cycles.
Q7: Can I format this card in a standard PC card reader?
No. S7-300 MMC cards must only be formatted through the PLC itself (using Step 7 and the CPU’s formatting function). Formatting in a standard PC reader destroys the Siemens-proprietary header and bootloader, rendering the card permanently unusable for S7-300 applications.
Q8: What are the dimensions and weight?
Net weight is 0.030 kg. Packaging dimensions are 9.30 × 10.60 × 0.50 cm.
Q9: What is the country of origin?
Germany.
Q10: What should I verify before ordering?
Always verify the exact part number (6ES7953-8LF20-0AA0), confirm your CPU model is an S7-300/C7/ET 200 series (not S7-1200/1500), and check whether you should order the successor 6ES7953-8LF31-0AA0 for improved availability. Ensure the 64 KB capacity is sufficient for your program size.
