Siemens S5 100U with IP266 card

[mjisaacs]

I have a customer with an IP266 card problem. The card faults and I have determined the problem is in the card. The customer has a spare, but they do not know where it came from, and it doesn't have a program in it. They also have another machine that contains a good working card. How can I copy the program from the good card to the other unit to see if it works? I have the com266 software (in German), the cable and can communicate with the card. My concern is lack of documentation and I am afraid I will inadvertently kill the program in the good card while I am trying to work on it. Can anyone help me? I simply need coaching from someone that has used the software and to find out if pulling the program from a good unit is possible.

I have spent several hours on Siemens and other sites and search engines researching this. Nothing I find answers the questions I posed in my request above. I posted it here hoping someone here could answer the questions. I have lots of Siemens experience, but nada on this card. Again, if anyone can help with the questions, it would be greatly appreciated.
