Firmware update for the motor starter
The following options are available for updating firmware for the motor starter.
● Online via PROFINET IO/PROFIBUS DP (with STEP 7)
● Via the integrated Web server (possible for CPU as well as centralized and distributed I/O
modules)
● With the TIA Portal:
– As of SIMATIC STEP 7 V13 SP1 with installed HSP for the ET 200SP motor starter
– SIMATIC STEP 7 V14 and higher
Over a SIMATIC memory card
● With SIMATIC STEP 7 version V5.5 SP4 and higher
● For fail-safe motor starters with the TIA Portal Version V14 SP1 or higher and installed
HSP.
Note
The firmware update for fail
-safe motor starters must take place in a separate ET 200SP
system in which only the fail
-safe motor starter that is to be updated is inserted.
Installation of the firmware update
Risk of impermissible system states
The CPU switches to STOP mode or the interface module to "station failure" as a result of
the firmware update being installed. STOP or station failure can have an adverse effect on
the operation of an online process or a machine.
Unexpected operation of a process or a machine can lead to fatal or severe injuries and/or
to material damages.
Make sure that the CPU/interface module is not executing any active process before
installing the firmware update.
