Use the Simatic manager Help and search for load memory:

Rule of thumb: Press F1, where ever you have doubts in Simatic Manager.

Load Memory:Equivalent to Hard Disk.
Work Memory:Equivalent to RAM.

Think of load memory as like the hard disk in your computer. This stores information.
And think of work memory like the RAM in your computer. The CPU reads information from the load memory, and executes in the work memory.
