5.4 Setting-up and upgrading the system
HMI Advanced (IM4)
144 Commissioning Manual, 03/2009, 6FC5397-0DP10-3BA0
For compile cycles (CC) that can be downloaded, the following specifically applies:
The compile cycles that can be loaded are archived in the series commissioning under the
following requirements:
● In the commissioning archive, in the target directory ../NC_CARD.DIR/CCOEM.DIR, there
must be at least one compile cycle.
● It is only possible to selectively archive individual compile cycles by copying to a USB
memory.
5.4.2 Upgrading the PLC
Requirements
Access level 0-3 is required both to upgrade the PLC as well as to upgrade system data
blocks (SDB).
Use
When upgrading the PLC and/or system data blocks, only specific data can be updated by
entering the blocks into an INI file that are not overwritten and should therefore be updated:
● Upgrading the PLC
In order to upgrade the PLC, select "PLC" and create a PLC series commissioning
archive. Further, enter the blocks into a separate INI fie that should not be updated.
● Upgrading system data blocks
To upgrade the hardware, under "PLC", also select "PLC hardware upgrade (only SDB)".
This means that the hardware configuration can be made without using STEP 7 and
using the saved SDB upgrade archive.
This option can only be selected if exclusively the "PLC" option is selected. The
recommended archive name is SDB.ARC. All SDB of the actual PLC, which are in the
RAM and active, are entered into this archive. SDB that are set-up by the CPU as default
setting are not entered.
