This article explains how to download a SINAMICS project in STARTER to a CF card without a CU. By deleting the USER folder in the root directory of the CF card and selecting the desired device in STARTER, the project can be downloaded to the CF card's root directory. After successful download, a new USER folder will be generated in the CF card.
The document describes the hardware needed for the download: a PC that stores the source project, a Siemens‑compatible CF card with matching firmware, and a CF‑card reader. It also lists typical situations where the procedure is used, such as creating backup cards or replacing a damaged CF card.
Step‑by‑step instructions are provided: insert a new CF card, delete the existing USER folder, open the project in STARTER, choose “Load to file system”, select the target CF card, and save the project. After completion a new USER folder is created on the card, which can then be inserted into the CU. This manual is written in Chinese.
| CF Card type | Siemens compatible, matching inverter firmware |

| Required firmware | Must match the firmware version in the STARTER project |
A new “USER” folder is automatically created on the CF card, which can then be inserted into the CU.
