DC8-037-2.02, Edition 10.2017
7.3 Loadable Firmwares
CP-8000/CP-802x consists of system elements that are designed for specific functions:
• Master module
Central processing and communication
• Protocols
Communication with control center and further automation units
• I/O Master Module
Acquisition and output of process signals
For the performing of the respective function, a special firmware is provided for each system
element. The functionality of each system element is adjustable by means of parameters.
As a partner of Siemens, you are able to download all the code revisions for your system as
loadable binary files via the website http://www.siemens.com/sicam.

A binary file contains the firmware code for the engineering via SICAM WEB.
A TB II update contains the firmware code and the master data for engineering via the
SICAM TOOLBOX II.
For the parameterization of the corresponding system elements, the respective
• Firmware codes must exist in the target device (for engineering via SICAM WEB)
• TBII update must be stored in the SICAM TOOLBOX II (for engineering via SICAM
TOOLBOX II)
How to load firmwares into a target device depends on the used engineering tool:
• SICAM TOOLBOX II: section 8.1.4, Import Firmware and 11.5.1, SICAM TOOLBOX II
• SICAM WEB: section 9.3.7, Update Firmware and 11.5.2, SICAM WEB
