Loading firmware 
Start downloading procedure 
1.  In the Windows Start menu, select the menu command SIMATIC > STEP 7 > NCM S7 > 
Firmware Loader. 
 
2.  Click "Next" and follow the instructions in the dialog fields that follow. A help function is 
integrated in the software as support. 
 
Note 
Ensure that the loader file you are using for the update is suitable for the version of 
firmware on your module. If you have any doubts, contact your local Siemens consultant.
 
 
Note 
Be aware that aborting the loading process may result in an inconsistent state in your 
module.
 
You can find additional, detailed information about the individual loader variants in the 
integrated help. 
 
Note 
When loading the firmware or 
commissioning the module, be aware that the CP 1616 
onboard takes five MAC addresses (always in direct sequence). The first two addresses are 
displayed in the BIOS, in the "Peripheral Configuration" submenu of the "Advanced" menu.
 
The lower MAC address at "Profinet" is provided for Layer 2 communication, while the 
second one is used for Ethernet/PROFINET communication.
